Corporate History
Rinnai was founded in 1920 by Hidejiro Naito and Kanekichi Hayashi, who started their business manufacturing and selling pressurized oil cooking stoves. By the early 1930s, the company entered into the gas appliance business, which included cooking stoves, ranges, space heaters and water heaters.
Rinnai relocated to a state-of-the-art Distribution, Research and Training facility in Peachtree City, Georgia in 2001 - and has since expanded with branch offices and training facilities in California, Texas and Florida.
