Topics range from 'the Great Reset' to contractor consolidation at the annual HARDI conference in Palm Desert, California.
In this session, the ACHR NEWS’s Mike Murphy will moderate a panel comprised of players active in the consolidation of HVACR service companies. Learn what drives the consolidation, why the pace of activities is increasing, and how these new, larger companies are viewing purchasing and the role of the supplier.
Satisfying customer demand in the Covid economy requires many things, but maintaining agile supply chains, efficient production practices, and inventory transparency rank near the top of this list. HVAC/R product manufacturers, in spite of the enormous challenges created by the Covid economy, have managed to produce equipment and components in record numbers in large part because of their ability to maintain production efficiencies and adapt to evolving supply constraints. But to what extent is inventory transparency helping manufacturers anticipate distributor demand, and should distributors consider closer ties with their most essential vendors in the future? Join us in our Voice of Supplier session as we discuss the ways in which manufacturers have adapted to the Covid-landscape, the future of distributor/supplier relations, and the key findings from our 3rd Annual Voice of Supplier survey.
