Nordyne Offers Programs, Honors for Independent Dealers
Nordyne’s participation with wholesale distributors is not a new concept for the manufacturing company. The company, headquartered in O’Fallon, Mo., partners with independent distributors for the vast majority of its residential and manufactured housing distribution. Although the company has opened a handful of Nordyne-owned factory locations in areas that historically it has had problems reaching, across most of the country, the company has independent distribution partners, many of whom have been Nordyne customers for decades.
“The decisions to open the handful of factory locations were made selectively and carefully as this endeavor is designed specifically to enhance our footprint where we need the most help getting our products, programs, and brands to contractors and consumers,” explained Philip Windham, vice president of sales at Nordyne. He noted that Nordyne primarily serves the United States and Canada, but that the company also has an international division with a presence in Mexico, South America, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East. “Distributors are vitally important to our company and our brands. We rely on distributors to select the contractor base and be our voice with product and program benefits. They also provide an expansive footprint of locations, local expertise, and ancillary products and services that further enhance our attractiveness to contractors and consumers.”
