Company pulls out of China and moves to Stoney Creek

Talk about bucking the trend.

A Hamilton based company is pulling it’s manufacturing out of China and instead will be making a new, highly sought after product in Stoney Creek.

Superior Radiant Products produces high efficiency infrared heating systems. It has just opened a 43,000 square foot facility to help meet an increased demand for outdoor heaters.

“The new products are patio heaters, you’ve probably seen them. They keep you warm in these cold evening we’ve had especially this summer. We produce a high end version of that product. We were originally manufacturing it in China but we’ve now brought that product back to North America and we’re going to manufacture it right here in Stoney Creek,” says SRP President Kevin Merritt.

The new factory is located in the old Levi’s plant.

Along with increase in demand for the product, the company has increased its staff by almost 15%.
