"We're proud to have a global company like Rinnai doing business in Peachtree City and in Griffin, and I want to thank Rinnai for continuing to grow their North American footprint right here in Georgia," said Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. "Rinnai's continued investment in Georgia is a testament to our unmatched workforce training programs, pro-business environment, and unparalleled logistics network, and I look forward to working together as they continue creating opportunities for hardworking Georgians."

"The State of Georgia has been a true partner in helping Rinnai America in opening our first manufacturing site in North America," said Frank Windsor, president of Rinnai America Corporation. "We look forward to partnering with them in the years to come as we grow our business in the Americas."

The new 300,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in Griffin, Georgia, will manufacture the company's residential and commercial water heating solutions, as well as future additions to the company's product portfolio as it seeks to expand its product offerings in North America. 

"By establishing a world class manufacturing facility in Griffin, Rinnai will be well positioned to provide our customers with high quality products and services,” said Derrick Black, vice president of operations, Rinnai America Corporation. “The growing partnership with the Griffin community is key to Rinnai's success now, and in the future."

Rinnai has contracted with ASD | SKY Architects for the building design and interior design. The 300,000 square foot facility will reside on a nearly 60-acre site in the Lakes of Green Valley in Griffin, Georgia, and will consist of four general areas including office space, manufacturing, assembly, and warehouse. The location provides the company with adequate space for current operations and future growth and expansion. The Lakes at Green Valley is a 570-acre mixed use development located along the Georgia Highway 16 corridor (Arthur K. Bolton Parkway) at the intersection of Rehoboth Road in Spalding County, Georgia. This property was selected due to the great potential of utilizing the natural features to establish a unique "green" development. The property's geographical location was also a primary factor in this site selection. It is located three miles east of Griffin, Georgia, and conveniently along a four-lane highway approximately seven miles from Interstate 75. The Park is also located in close proximity to other industrial areas that house such names as Caterpillar Inc., Norcom, and many others. The new facility is scheduled to open late 2021.
