MARCO ISLAND, Florida – Daikin welcomed more than 1,300 sales representatives and customers to its biennial group sales meeting, offering attendees a vision of the future, as well as an up-close look at the global manufacturer’s newest equipment. Mike Schwartz, CEO, Daikin Applied Americas, addressed the crowd, noting that while there has been dramatic growth in the Americas business over the last 10 years, there is always room for improvement.
“Our mission today and going forward is to change who we are and to challenge ourselves,” he said. “We have been a traditional HVAC hardware provider for almost 90 years. Now as we look forward to the changes in the industry, it’s clear that we’ve got to be a much broader HVAC solutions provider that goes beyond just equipment.”
