Kudos Given to Business Unit Diamond Service Group Distributors of the Year
SUWANEE, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US LLC (METUS), a leading supplier of Ductless and Ducted Mini-split and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heat pump and air-conditioning systems, recently celebrated the contributions of its Diamond Service Group (DSG) members during the 2023 Diamond Service Group Conference in Atlanta. 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the DSG network.
The DSG network encompasses 398 independent distributors that deliver technical service support in North America, Latin America and the Caribbean. Independent DSG members serve as the local customer contact for troubleshooting and offer support and training for all Mitsubishi Electric systems sold and installed through the DSG network.
During the two-part conference, METUS leadership thanked DSG network members for their participation. These distributors were also given extensive technical instruction on current and future products in an effort to allow those distributors to deliver faster, quality service support and resolution for HVAC contractors within their local markets. Approximately 225 participants attended the conference.
“While we continue to try new things to improve our annual DSG conference, our commitment to the ongoing development of our members remains unwavering,” said Brent Constant, senior director of Technical Solutions, METUS. “This year, we provided the opportunity for these valuable program members to choose from 10 unique training sessions containing topics most relevant to them individually and to their specific local markets.
“Throughout the next 12 months, we’re planning to supplement conference training with a cadence of webinars tailored uniquely to our DSG team’s needs,” Constant said.
METUS leadership, including Mark Kuntz, chief executive officer, Constant, Brian Derry, manager of Service Programs, and business unit technical service managers, presented the Business Unit DSG Distributor of the Year Award to companies in each business unit.
