MINNEAPOLIS — Daikin Applied’s Los Angeles and San Diego service operations have been combined with Norman S. Wright Climatec Mechanical Equipment of Southern California LLC (NSWC), consolidating sales, service, and parts capabilities in the region. This move makes NSWC the Daikin authorized factory sales representative and service provider in the region.

“As building systems become more sophisticated, equipment sales involves more than delivering equipment to a job site,” said Tim Archer, principal, NSWC. “Joining forces with Daikin allows NSWC to provide our customers local sales and on-going service support from design to commissioning and beyond. We remain committed to our full roster of brands; our comprehensive line card is essential to successfully serve the overall needs of the marketplace.”

Kirk Thorne, executive vice president, sales, marketing, and aftermarket, Daikin Applied, believes this change will continue to fuel Daikin’s competitive advantage in the market.

“We value our representatives’ customer focus and entrepreneurial culture,” Thorne stated. “They have their finger on the pulse of their local markets. Our reps are the best in the industry, and merging teams makes us an unmatchable force.”

Thorne also emphasized that Daikin’s strategies are market-based.

“This enhanced relationship is well suited to the market conditions and capabilities of both NSWC and our service operations in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas,” he said. “Every market is different, and we evaluate each market individually to ensure we have the best structure to serve customers across the markets we serve. Our end goal is to create the best outcomes for our customers by investing in top talent to build the strongest organization in the marketplace.”
