In addition, Fedders has implemented several business initiatives that make doing business with Fedders even simpler and more profitable for the distributor community. “Our intention is to make it easy for a distributor to purchase all their air treatment products from Fedders and reduce the hassles and costs of dealing with several different suppliers,” stated Dave Pearson, Executive Vice President, Unitary Sales.

Fedders’ new business initiatives include:
