He expressed the company’s commitment towards growing the business of the MORSCO HVAC Supply throughout the U.S., besides enlarging the existing markets in Texas and Western U.S. The company will continue with the current growth strategies in its organic markets and make more acquisitions to enter new markets, Mishler added.
According to the President of Ott Distributors, Chip Hester, the company prides itself on supplying parts, products, services and expertise that customers need.
