GOODYEAR, AZ – Romac Industries, the leading U.S. manufacturer of piping products for the waterworks and wastewater industries, announced that it has leased a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Goodyear, Arizona.

“The expansion of our manufacturing operations in Arizona aligns with our long-standing commitment to domestic manufacturing,” said Josh Larkin, President of Romac. “Access to a skilled workforce, proximity to key customers in a high-growth market and access to critical supply chain suppliers were factors in our decision to invest in our new Goodyear location. We will be able to leverage these advantages to support our continued success.”
