As we approach the end of the summer and the temperature and pace of business starts to cool, we can begin to plan for 2023. However, before we do, let’s take a look at the many great things we were able to accomplish this year. To become “One Team • One Company” we needed to restructure a lot of our daily processes, most of which weren’t visible to our customers. However, one that was meant to grab your attention was our new brand. Moving forward we are now the Duravent Group. Hart & Cooley has become one of the many brands under the Duravent Group umbrella.
Going forward, you will notice this new name and logo on all correspondence as well as our web and social media platforms. This new name will afford us the flexibility and infrastructure to add products/brands seamlessly to the market.
This past year we have worked hard to establish and solidify our sales teams and rep agencies. There were some tough decisions, and I would like to thank those rep agencies that are no longer with us for their years of service and professionalism during the transition. Our current group of Rep Firms are some of the best in the industry, and we will continue to hold them to the highest standards to ensure peak customer service.
Finally, by now most of you are aware of our B vent transition. This product design change was necessary to increase efficiencies and allows us to lower lead times. I would like to thank those customers who have already transitioned to the new design. To those customers who are just starting this process, our sales and operations teams are working hard to make this a smooth transition and assist in any way.
Now, let’s talk about 2023! Although market trends are starting to slow, we know things can change quickly and the Duravent Group is poised to be your supplier of choice. We offer a bundle of products to help you save time and money. By purchasing multiple product lines, you can lower your individual product inventory levels and still make free freight minimums. This will also free up space at the branch for equipment and large ticket items. If you only buy one product line from us, think about adding a second and third, and watch your savings grow. The Duravent Group is committed to providing you with the best products at a fair price and the industry’s lowest lead times. From all of us at Duravent Group, keep building for the future!
Sincerely,
