Aqua-Hot Moves to New Facility in Frederick, Colorado
FREDERICK, Colo., Oct. 26, 2023 – Aqua-Hot, an AIRXCEL® brand, announced it has acquired a 44,000 sq. ft. building to house its operations, manufacturing, and distribution center; a capital investment in Frederick, Colorado. The building is located at 7755 Miller Drive, just a few hundred yards north of Aqua-Hot’s previous location. Aqua-Hot moved into the building in September 2023 following renovations.
“Aqua-Hot’s current growth made it necessary to move into a much larger and self-owned building,” said Selma Salihagic, General Manager for Aqua-Hot. “With this move, we now have the increased space and capacity to scale our production and logistics capabilities while providing ample room for growth as we develop and introduce new products. And with the new location’s proximity, we’ll be able to continue to serve our customers without any negative impact on our team members or suppliers during the move.”
Aqua-Hot’s new facility has expanded manufacturing space where the company will produce its 100, 200, 400, 600, and Gen1 series heating systems. Aqua-Hot has been a Colorado proud company for 39 years with roots in the Frederick community that date back to 2013.
Aqua-Hot worked with Upstate Colorado Economic Development and the Town of Frederick in securing the new facility. Chair of the Weld County Board of Commissioners, Mike Freeman, said, “As a longtime Weld County business, we are excited to see Aqua-Hot continue to expand and flourish in the Town of Frederick. This expansion represents continued investment into Weld County by the manufacturing sector, as well as the retention and creation of primary jobs. We look forward to continuing our partnership with companies like Aqua-Hot to support the thriving manufacturing industry in Weld County.”
Commenting on the expansion for Aqua-Hot, Frederick Mayor Tracie Crites stated, “We congratulate Aqua-Hot on their success and are delighted they have chosen to continue to grow right here in Frederick. As an expanding manufacturer of hydronic heating systems for the recreational vehicle industry, they offer exciting career opportunities within our community. Aqua-Hot’s decision to remain in Frederick exemplifies how commitment to fostering and sustaining business relationships contributes to the enrichment of our community’s vitality.”
