Bradford White December 2021 Plant Shutdown
Due to challenges of balancing supply and demand, a tenuous supply chain, logistic challenges, and inconsistent staffing over the past 18 months, Bradford White made the decision to suspend a planned maintenance shutdown this past July. As a result, the Middleville, Michigan manufacturing facility will be closed from Wednesday, December 22nd, 2021 through January 4th, 2022. This shutdown period is critical for plant maintenance and will allow Bradford White to continue to improve production levels and increase on-time delivery rates exiting the holiday season. Due to this anticipated shutdown, lead times on existing orders may have shifted.
