FORT SMITH, Ark. — Heating and air product manufacturer Rheem announced Monday that it's investing $20 million in an expansion of its Fort Smith facility.
The Atlanta-based company said the expansion will create 100 jobs and increase production capacity at the plant, which is more than 50 years old. Plans also call for a training and innovation center where distributors and contractors will work with Rheem products and learn about product improvement.
Rheem said other improvements will include a new entrance and traffic flow patterns to improve safety, access, and congestion.
