Undeterred by events which have reduced travel and attendance at other national events, wholesaler members of the Northamerican Heating, Refrigeration and Airconditioning Wholesalers Association turned out in force to address the future of distribution as the largest HVACR distribution organization gathered in Las Vegas for its annual convention in early December.
Programs and discussions centered on the association's developing concept of Market Center Distribution, described as a rallying point for the perpetuation of local, independent distribution and as a challenge to wholesalers and their supply chain partners to streamline the channel through removal of redundant costs, increasing transactional efficiency and strengthening partnerships.
