NHRAW and ARWI consolidate to become a single voice for HVACR distributors.
A new association, the Heating, Airconditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI), has been formed to take the place of two HVACR wholesaler associations that have been serving the industry ever since a/c started to get commercialized in a big way. In early October, the Northamerican Heating, Refrigerating & Airconditioning Wholesalers Association (NHRAW) and Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Wholesalers International (ARWI) agreed to become one, effective at the turn of 2003.
