Hearth & Home Technologies recently formed a strategic partnership with Clayton Homes, the largest U.S. home builder. Clayton Homes has selected Hearth & Home Technologies’ Heatilator®brand as its brand of choice for fireplaces. The partnership brings together two industry-leading brands: Clayton Homes has been building homes since 1956 and has received multiple awards for design and construction along the way, and Heatilator is the number-one preferred brand of builders, known as the first name in fireplaces, the company says.

Andy Morgillo, vice president of the purchasing division for Clayton Homes, says, “Heatilator has a long legacy of dependability and value, which are important attributes in our homes. We’re pleased to partner with the leading fireplace manufacturer to enhance our floor plans and bring added value to our customers.” The partnership will roll out over the next several months in Clayton Homes houses across the country.

Rich Wilson, vice president of national accounts for Hearth & Home Technologies, says, “As the largest home builder in [the United States], Clayton Homes is known for leading the way by providing the right options, upgrades, comfort, and quality, at all price points, to its homebuyers. We look forward to working with Clayton Homes to provide the best hearth solution to meet the needs of its diverse homebuyers.”
