In plain English
A. O. Smith is the company behind the water heater in your basement. It is the leading maker of residential and commercial water heaters and boilers in North America (sold above all through Lowe's), and the #1 water-heater and water-treatment brand in China — two very different markets running off one century-old Milwaukee engineering base, now pushing into India after buying Unilever's Pureit purification business.
