Less than two weeks after the acquisition of three branches in Saskatchewan and Alberta, Master Group opened a 16,000 square foot branch in Winnipeg, MB (pictured) in May 2018.
The Master Group will become the exclusive distributor for Johnson Controls’ York brand residential ducted systems and commercial rooftop products this spring.
The two companies will enter a multi-year contractual agreement May 13, 2019, which will grant The Master Group exclusive distribution rights.
Until then, The Master Group–currently the exclusive distributor of the brand’s line of rooftop products in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada–is a non-exclusive distributor of ducted system products for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
“We are very grateful to the Johnson Controls leadership team for the confidence they have shown in us and for the opportunity to become a truly coast-to-coast distributor of York residential ducted systems and commercial rooftops,” said Louis St-Laurent, president and CEO of The Master Group.
Over the past year, the company has focused its efforts on expanding coast-to-coast–namely through acquisitions and expansions of its western locations.
