Armstrong Fluid Technology’s OEM Sales Manager Bruce Fontaine enjoys the moment at the company’s AHR event at River Roast.

Armstrong Fluid Technology’s Monday evening event at the hip River Roast along the Chicago River drew a packed house.

Bruce Fontaine, OEM sales manager, Armstrong Fluid Technology, said focusing on the design envelope will be the way of the future for energy efficient HVACR systems, and encouraged contractors to “take the load off.”

 Alexander van der Weerd, CEO, said the company excels at the combination of controls and mechanical systems. However, “we’re an engineering company originally, and not always the best at getting the word out about ourselves.”

Events such as Monday night’s well-attended bash at River Roast can only help in that regard.
