Twenty years ago, Caleffi S.p.A. (Fontaneto d'Agogna, Italy) began an exciting adventure, opening its North American headquarters in Franklin, Wisconsin.  The company soon established wide acceptance of its high-quality products in the U.S. and Canadian plumbing and hydronic marketplaces. With investment in people, innovative products, creative branding and state-of-the-art facilities, the company has enjoyed increasing demand and rapid growth. To honor this milestone, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson has proclaimed Thursday, May 19, 2022 to be CALEFFI DAY throughout the City of Milwaukee.

In 2007 Caleffi North America built a new 35,000-square-foot facility in the Menomonee Valley to house its main offices, technical laboratory, warehousing and assembly operations. Twelve years later, an additional 8,300 square feet was added to the building, doubling the office space and assembly area. This latest expansion was awarded Top Projects of 2020 by The Daily Reporter, a news source for commercial construction projects in Wisconsin. The creation of appealing work spaces with the ability to easily transform a space into a training venue is a testimony to Caleffi’s commitment to industry education including complimentary resources such as hybrid training opportunities, the popular idronics journal series, and Coffee with Caleffi — a first-of-its-kind webinar series.

“Caleffi’s core values remain steadfast: commitment, passion, innovation and love for the local community. We will leverage our reputation built these first 20 years to continue expanding our family of customers and employees,” said General Director Mark Olson.

Caleffi welcomes industry partners, employees and neighbors to join the company in raising a toast on CALEFFI DAY to celebrate its anniversary and the unveiling of its new Training Center while enjoying a tour, a taste of Italy and refreshments on Thursday, May 19 from 3 - 7 p.m. at 3883 West Milwaukee Road in Milwaukee.
