November 26, 2024

LYNDHURST, N.J. — NAVAC Inc., a global leader in HVAC vacuum pumps and HVACR tools, continues to expand its influence within the HVACR industry through its participation in Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI).

Since becoming a HARDI supplier member in 2018, NAVAC has played a key role in fostering industry advancements, a press release from the company said. This year, NAVAC’s director of sales, Keith Keller, will give a presentation at HARDI’s annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia, representing the industry as a member of HARDI’s supplier council. The conference is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7, through Tuesday, Dec. 10.

Since 2022, Keller has held a seat on the HARDI supplier council, joining representatives from other manufacturers, including Trane, Honeywell, Rheem, DiversiTech, Advanced Distributor Products, and Chemours. The council meets monthly to address key industry changes and develop strategies for collaborating with HVAC distributors.

“NAVAC’s participation in HARDI’s supplier council has been instrumental in shaping our understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the HVAC industry,” Keller said. “It’s an honor to collaborate with other leaders in the field and offer our insights to help the industry thrive.”

Keller’s upcoming presentation at the HARDI conference will focus on improving communication between distributors and suppliers as well as on fostering stronger relationships with distributors, NAVAC said.

NAVAC’s continued involvement in HARDI underscores the company’s dedication to providing top-tier tools, technology, and support for the HVAC industry, the company said. As part of the supplier council, NAVAC is positioned to further its mission of delivering solutions while enhancing the ways in which suppliers and distributors collaborate to meet the growing demands of customers, all in the spirit of the company mantra, “Empowering You to Work Smarter,” the company said.

“Having NAVAC on the HARDI supplier council has been a valuable addition,” said Brandin Bursa, associate member account manager at HARDI. “Their expertise helps us better address the evolving needs of HVACR industry, and they remain a strong partner and voice in the channel.”
