Goodman acquires US distributor Robinson

USA: Daikin’s US subsidiary Goodman Distribution has acquired Robinson Plumbing & Heating Supply Co, its Massachusetts-based distributor of Goodman, Amana and Daikin residential unitary and light commercial products.

Established in 1954, Robinson has been a Goodman distributor since 1994. Following the acquisition it will continue to supply and promote the full line of residential unitary and light commercial Goodman, Amana and Daikin ductless HVAC products, as well as controls, air quality products, parts, plumbing and accessories throughout its seven branch locations across Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

“The acquisition of Robinson supports our growth strategy and is a key step in expanding our distribution footprint in the Northeast,” said Ardee Toppe, senior vice president and president of Goodman, Quietflex and PTAC business units.

“We are confident our new alignment with Goodman will provide more personal and professional growth and learning opportunities for our employees and enhance training and technical service for the benefit of our valued customers,” said Russell Robinson, who will remain with the company as a strategic advisor after serving as Robinson Supply president.

Robinson will maintain its Fall River, Massachusetts headquarters and management structure throughout its existing branch locations.

The announcement comes on the heels of Daikin’s November acquisition of Stevens Equipment Supply and its 18 branch locations across 13 states, from Minnesota to Nevada.
