Broan-NuTone® Stimulus Package: Employing Americans, Keeping U.S. Jobs, Providing Superior Indoor Air QualityHartford, Wis., August 12, 2009 – One of the easiest ways Americans can contribute to strengthening the economy
is to make sure they always buy American made products. One easy place to start
is with products for the home. Broan-NuTone® makes
this an easy choice as over 80 percent of its products are designed, engineered
and manufactured in the United States of U.S. and foreign parts.
“Broan® and NuTone® ventilation fans are available in many options – recessed
fan/lights, decorative fan/lights, ENERGY STAR® qualified fans, Ultra Silent™
fans – the options are endless,” says Patrick Nielsen, marketing manager, ventilation
fans, Broan-NuTone. “Additionally, we continuously monitor consumer trends
so builders, designers, electricians and homeowners never have to look elsewhere
to find a ventilation fan to meet their needs.”
As the latest employment statistics confirm, our economy continues to struggle.
According to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, in July 2009, the number of unemployed persons in
the United States was 14.5 million and the unemployment rate was 9.4 percent.
It is now more important than ever for Americans to do their part to help save
American jobs.
By purchasing a fan made by Broan-NuTone, Americans can rest assured that
fan was designed, engineered and manufactured in the U.S. which also means
the carbon footprint required to make products available to homeowners is less
than many of its competitors coming from overseas. Homeowners will also be
pleased to know that ENERGY STAR qualified fans from Broan and NuTone use less
than 10 kilowatt hours per year – or about one dollar per year in electricity.
With three facilities in Ohio, Wisconsin and Texas and 969 associates in the
U.S., Broan-NuTone employees take pride in their jobs whether it be on the
manufacturing line or behind a desk. “I’m proud to be an American and a Broan-NuTone
employee,” says Jerry Vincent, range hood automation line, Broan-NuTone. “For
40 years I have taken great pride in doing the best job I can so we can build
America’s best products.”
As so many of Broan-NuTone products satisfy USGBC, NAHB and ENERGY
STAR ventilation requirements for green building, builders and homeowners

creating a healthy home.
