TYLER, Texas - American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning has announced a change in distribution in the Mid-South region, soon to be split among four distributors, to help strengthen the brand’s sales territories and dealer services in the Mid-South section of the United States.
With two new distributors covering Mid-South markets, as well as expanding the sales territories for two of its existing distributors, American Standard’s distribution network covers areas throughout Alabama, northern Georgia, the Florida Panhandle, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. All four distributors will take over their new territories no later than Jan. 1, 2011.
“We’re proud to partner with four of the country’s best distributors in bringing American Standard products and service to dealers in the Mid-South region. Now even more dealers throughout the Mid-South will have access to our high-quality HVAC products, and will also be able to make optimum use of our proven marketing and sales support services,” said Jamie Byrne, VP of sales, American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning.
Joining the American Standard distribution network is Climatic Comfort Products, based in Columbia, S.C. F.A. Bailey and Sons began in South Carolina in 1936 as one of the first HVAC franchises in the industry. From that company emerged The Climatic Corporation, which was founded in 1956 by F.A. Bailey’s son, John Bailey Sr. Today, Bailey continues to serve as the company’s CEO, and Climatic Comfort Products has developed one of the most advanced and efficient distribution systems in the Southeast and is expanding to other markets. The company will serve dealers in Alabama, northern Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle.
Team Air Distributing, based in Nashville, Tenn., is also a new distributor for American Standard. A distributor of residential HVAC equipment and parts, Team Air Distributing offers its customers a team of experts with more than 300 years of professional experience in engineering and applying the latest technology to meet customer needs. With four locations in Tennessee including Nashville, Gallatin, Knoxville, and Chattanooga, the company will provide American Standard products to dealers in middle and eastern Tennessee.
Beginning in January, two existing distributors will expand their sales territories to cover Arkansas, Memphis and Jackson, Tenn., and Mississippi.
