Ruud and Rheem is a privately held manufacturing company that began operation in 1927 as a supplier of packaging to the petroleum industry. In the 1930's Rheem began manufacturing water heaters and in 1947 began manufacturing warm air furnaces. In 1959, the company acquired Ruud® Manufacturing Company, a pioneer in the industry with a well regarded product line and a distribution network throughout North America. In subsequent years, Rheem entered the heating and air conditioning market and expanded in the late 1960's and 1970's with the rapid growth of the central air conditioning industry. In 1985 the company acquired Raypak, a leading producer of copper tube boilers used for swimming pool heating and commercial hot water supply and hydronic heating.

Today, Rheem is a leading North American producer of water heaters, central warm air furnaces and air conditoners and swimming pool heaters and commercial boilers. The company's products are used for residential and commercial applications and operate on a variety of fuels.

It was in 1904 that Charles Bryant began manufacturing high pressure regulators for gas wells. The firm he founded was known as the Natural Gas Regulator Company and was located in Cleveland, Ohio. By 1907, the company was producing gas-fired water heaters. The following year, with the success of the first tubular gas boiler, the firm changed its name to the Bryant Heater and Manufacturing Company. During the mid-1920's, the majority of all gas boilers sold in the United States were made by Bryant.

Bryant became a part of Dresser Industries in 1933 and later became a leader in the furnace, silica-gel dryer, conversion burner, and unit heater business while still maintaining its supremacy in the gas boiler field. In 1949, Bryant, Day & Night and Payne bought themselves out of Dresser and formed Affiliated Gas Equipment, Inc.. (AGE).

Carrier Corporation purchased AGE in 1955. Bryant transferred its management and administrative activities to Indianapolis. In 1974, Carrier formed BDP Company and Bryant became the "B" in BDP. In 1997, and as a result of a shift in company focus for all brands, Bryant became a national brand with a dedicated management team.
