FORT WAYNE, IN — WaterFurnace International has opened a major expansion of its Fort Wayne headquarters, nearly tripling the size of the facility to 173,000 square feet. The new addition supports increased production capacity, streamlined operations, and growing demand for geothermal and water source heating and cooling systems.

The state-of-the-art building was designed with long-term scalability in mind. Like the rest of the headquarters, it is fully heated and cooled by WaterFurnace geothermal systems connected to the company’s on-site pond. The design underscores WaterFurnace’s focus on sustainability and renewable energy innovation.

More than 250 WaterFurnace employees marked the milestone alongside state and local leaders.
