Bradford White traces its roots back over 100 years manufacturing residential and commercial water heaters. In 1992, the management and employees formed an employee stock ownership trust (ESOT) to purchase the company from its publicly-owned parent. Today, Bradford White is the leading company in its industry having won the J.D. Power Award for its outstanding quality and customer service. Learn the incredible journey and growth story of Bradford White, the power of their ESOT, and the role it plays in the unique culture of the company. Although not family owned, the employees at Bradford White act like one big, happy family!
