Leading Building Technology Company Targeting
Growth in Northeast
Indiana
SOLON,
Ohio, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gardiner, a
Northern Ohio-based leader in
HVAC, building technology and services, today announced its
expansion into Fort Wayne and
Northeast Indiana. As part of this
expansion, Gardiner immediately becomes the exclusive factory sales
representative in the region for Daikin Applied and Daikin Comfort
Technologies.
Gardiner President and CEO Todd
Barnhart sees the move as a milestone in the company's
commitment to continued growth. "This is a perfect next step based
on what we've been able to accomplish across Northern Ohio," said Barnhart. "Our presence
in Fort Wayne will not only
strengthen our relationship with Daikin, but also open up new
opportunities for Gardiner and our associates."
As for why Fort Wayne, Barnhart
pointed to the natural fit with Gardiner's current markets, being
just miles from the Ohio border.
More importantly, though, he says the timing is right given the
business climate in Northeast
Indiana.
"Much like how people have overlooked cities like Cleveland historically, most people don't
realize what's been happening in Fort
Wayne over the past several years and the growth trajectory
there right now. We think we can have a positive impact on that
both as an employer and as a partner in the construction sector
across the region. We're excited to be part of it."
The company also plans to create new jobs by hiring local
associates in the Fort Wayne area
and open a physical office in the Fort
Wayne area in the months ahead. Gardiner EVP, CFO & COO
Rob MacKinlay noted the importance
of establishing a local presence and a focus on long-term
investment in entering the market.
"At Gardiner, we put an emphasis on local business and long-term
relationships," he said. "We believe in establishing operations in
the places we do business. We look forward to assembling a
world-class local team and becoming part of the business community
in Greater Fort Wayne in the
weeks, months and years ahead. We're going to do things the right
way."
As an employer, Gardiner brings a reputation of being recognized
as a perennial top workplace, being the only company to have been
recognized as a Cleveland.com Top Workplace and NorthCoast99
winner every year since 2010.
