“Modular Comfort Systems has the expertise essential to grow Daikin’s leadership in this market, as they’ve proved over our 50 year relationship,” said Kirk Thorne, executive vice president, sales, marketing and aftermarket at Daikin Applied. “They have excelled at creating an exceptional sales experience through Central New York state; as a result they have grown their share aggressively in the past two years.

“We have a long-term commitment to continued growth in North America and expanding our global leadership. Modular Comfort Systems’ leadership in VRV and applied sales will strengthen that position. All of us here at Daikin are proud of this latest achievement,” said Takayuki (Taka) Inoue, executive vice president and president, Daikin Business Unit at Daikin North America LLC.
