More than 100 years ago, Edwin Ruud, a Norwegian mechanical engineer,
came to America and developed the first successful automatic water
heater. That early success marked the beginning of a tradition of
innovation and value that led to the introduction of RUUD heating and
air conditioning equipment in the 1950s.
Since then, the RUUD has grown into one of North America’s largest
manufacturers of quality heating, cooling and water heating products for
residential and light commercial use.
Today, RUUD operates manufacturing facilities employing highly
trained workers and state-of-the-art equipment. Over the years, the
product lines have expanded, changed, and improved significantly as new
design techniques and better manfacturing technologies have become
available.
