A. O. Smith plant in Juarez earns certification
The A. O. Smith Water Products Co. plant in Juarez, Mexico, recently was certified as part of the State of Chihuahua’s Volunteer Program for Environmental Regulation.
The 263,000-sq.-ft. facility, which manufactures residential water heaters, was one of just 55 facilities in the Juarez region to earn certification. The voluntary program is offered through Chihuahua’s Secretary of Urban Development and Ecology.
“We had worked hard for the past 12 months to ensure we were complying with the government’s laws, however, we recognized the new voluntary program would be more aggressive and far-reaching,” plant manager Eduardo Gonzalez observed. “Achieving the certification would further strengthen our program and enhance our reputation in the community.”
Headquartered in Ashland City, Tenn., A. O. Smith Water Products Co. is a manufacturer and marketer of residential and commercial water heaters and hydronic boilers.
