Companies Hopeful the Acquisition Spurs Ductless, VRF Product Expansion
Samsung Electronics America Inc. has agreed to acquire Quietside Corp. Quietside has been the master distributor for Samsung HVAC products in the U.S. and Canada since 1997. Quietside believes the acquisition will provide it with greater access to Samsung’s wide range of HVAC products, including its DVMS System. As a result of the acquisition, Quietside intends to increase its personnel and infrastructure investment in North America in order to serve the continuing rapid expansion of the split ductless and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) product categories.
Samsung predicts the move will further strengthen its sales operations in North America. The company also plans to unveil an enhanced HVAC product lineup that it believes will better reflect the needs of North American customers.
