Water heating, treatment company to invest $30M, add 150 jobs in Lebanon

A.O. Smith Corp said they will spend $30 million to expand their Lebanon plant and build a product development center, adding 150 employers. The Milwaukee-based company already runs a facility in Wisconsin showcasing his advanced water heating and water treatment research and development efforts. The Lebanon facility will serve as a hub for commercial water heating and hydronics product development. It will bring together the company’s North America water heating commercial engineering, platform electronics, product support and product management functions with Lochinvar engineering and product management, a Lebanon-based company A.O. Smith acquired in 2011. The company also has a product and support management team in Ashland City and another facility in McBee, S.C.
