Kevin J. Wheeler, chairman, president, and CEO of A.O. Smith, emphasized the strategic significance of the acquisition, stating, "The acquisition of Impact Water Products further supports our growth strategy by expanding the West Coast presence of our water treatment business. A.O. Smith delivers innovative solutions that heat and treat water, and Impact Water Products aligns perfectly with our values and commitment to quality."

Under the terms of the acquisition, the current management team of Impact Water Products, consisting of Judy Guan, Allan Horner, Jerry Horner, and Victor Chu, will remain with the organization. They will continue to operate out of the Ontario, Calif., office, ensuring a seamless transition and continued commitment to serving customers.
