Pumps, valves, and controls for hydronic and water systems across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial markets
Taco manufactures pumps, valves, heat exchangers, tanks, and controls for HVAC, plumbing, agriculture, and industrial applications. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward manufacturing and operations roles, with 41 open manufacturing positions against just 2 sales roles—matching a product-centric, build-to-order business model. Active projects cluster around quality systems, ERP configurators, and ASME pressure-vessel design, while pain points center on inventory accuracy and supplier performance, suggesting the company is scaling production complexity while managing supply-chain fragility.
Notable leadership hires: Welding Fabrication Lead, Warehouse Team Lead, Facilities Team Lead, Team Lead, Machining Lead
