At the conference, distributors heard from METUS leadership. Distributors were provided with extensive technical instruction on current and future products for delivering faster, quality service support and resolution for HVAC contractors within their local markets. Approximately 150 participants attended each portion of the two-part conference.

“After a two-year, pandemic driven hiatus, we’re grateful to host and directly engage our valued distributors,” said Mark Rogers, director, DSG program and QA operations, Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US LLC. “This conference allows Diamond Service Group members to network with peers and receive training and technical support. This year’s theme embodied our program’s philosophy of teamwork. We recognize and support DSG members as essential to our team at METUS. DSG members support other DSG members through collaboration and sharing lessons learned on various products.”
