“Western Canada is a largely untapped region for Nortek, so the chance to move into new markets, introducing our best-in-class products and systems to new faces, is one we treasure,” he said. “After Vallières helped grow Nortek’s presence in Quebec, going nationwide was a natural fit for the partnership.”

“This group is more than ready for this opportunity,” said Darren Leonard, Nortek’s senior director of residential sales, North America. “Having been in a business relationship with them for years now, we know the level of commitment they have in meeting their promises, pushing for sales, supporting customers and standing out as leaders in training. The future is definitely bright with our neighbors to the north.”

Reflecting its expanded role, Vallières & Associates is making some major changes as it grows, including moving into a new building with an expanded training center this fall.

“There’s a lot of work to be done, but it’s a huge privilege,” Mike Vallières said. “There are not too many manufacturers that would trust someone that has been in one sector but invest in them to expand to the entire country. We won’t let Nortek down.”
