LANCASTER, Pa. — U.S. Boiler Co., a designer and manufacturer of residential and light commercial boilers, and a subsidiary of Burnham Holdings Inc., has announced the opening of its new Engineering and Technology Center located at 2930 Old Tree Drive, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

At the grand opening ceremony, Doug Brossman, president and CEO of Burnham Holdings, stated that the opening of this new $5 million facility “…demonstrates our commitment to maintaining our leadership position by providing our companies the tools they need to develop and support the broadest and most sophisticated product offerings in the industry.” Paul Spradling, president of U.S. Boiler, added that “…the investment in this lab, which is one of the most sophisticated in the industry, will provide U.S. Boiler a competitive advantage by being able to more quickly develop state-of-the-art products to meet the rapidly changing demands of our customers.”

The new facility, which is integrated into the company’s existing manufacturing and distribution campus, will provide the engineering department with additional space to house an engineering team that has doubled in size in the last three years. The state-of-the-art facility gives U.S. Boiler more capacity to develop and bring to market technically sophisticated condensing boilers, a rapidly growing segment of the market. Overall, the 20,000-square-foot facility effectively triples the size available to U.S. Boiler’s engineering team, and will be able to support future department expansion.

Lancaster-based Wohlsen Construction was the general contractor for the project.

Burnham Holdings is the parent company of multiple subsidiaries that are leading domestic manufacturers of boilers and related HVAC products and accessories (including furnaces, radiators, and air conditioning systems) for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
