Rheem ® began making drums in Australia in 1937 and manufactured its first water heater in Australia at Waterloo, an inner Sydney suburb, in 1939.

In May of that same year, BHP purchased a 50% stake in the company and supplied the Australian steel used in all Rheem manufacturing. It was the beginning of an association that has endured for many years and which has been a contributing factor in Rheem’s ongoing success.

Rheem has always maintained a steady flow of innovation. For more than 25 years Rheem has been at the forefront of development in Solar and Renewable Energy Water Heating technologies. Designed in Australia for the harshest Australian conditions, Rheem produces a range of specialist Solar Hot Water Systems for all temperature extremes from freezing to the hottest climate zones.
