Eemax, Inc. Plans Expansion within Connecticut

Eemax, Inc. Expanding

OXFORD, CT – For nearly a quarter century, Eemax, Inc., (www.eemax.com), the market leader in commercial, industrial, and residential electric tankless water heaters, has grown both physically and in terms of sales. With further expansion anticipated, the company has outgrown its Oxford, CT, headquarters and is searching locally for larger facilities with hopes of moving by this September.

U.S. Rep Jim Himes (D-CT 4th District) recently paid a visit to the Eemax headquarters. Himes aggressively works to connect small businesses with government resources and strives to ensure that local businesses have access to the capital they need to invest in their operations. “Small businesses are the heart of our economy,” said Himes. “They create almost all of our new jobs and provide a daily demonstration of the entrepreneurial spirit.”

Eemax is a positive example of a successful and growing U.S.-based manufacturing facility. “Eemax exhibits true American spirit by manufacturing innovative ‘green’ products that save energy, water, time, space, and money,” said Congressman Himes. “Their high quality products create jobs because they are manufactured right here in our own backyard.”
