HOUSTON, March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- HVACInsider's 2014 HVAC Person of the Year is Takeshi Ebisu, President and CEO, Goodman Manufacturing Company.
Each year HVAC & Refrigeration Insider® magazine selects one person in the HVAC industry to honor as HVAC Person of the Year. Per the publication, "We look for individuals who have made a significant contribution, not just to the success of one company or concept, but to the industry as a whole. This year we have the pleasure of naming someone who can lay claim to each of these accolades."
Mr. Ebisu led the team that brought Daikin, a Japan-based manufacturing HVAC leader, and Goodman, a leading U.S. brand, together. In the process he helped infuse the North American market with some of the world's most innovative HVAC technology.
Per HVACInsider, "This is probably one of the most impactful acquisitions that occurred in the North American HVAC market. The reaction among current distributors, dealer/contractors and representatives has been largely positive. We have the feeling that both Daikin and Goodman will only become stronger and more influential in our market and other markets worldwide."
HVACInsider is a contractor-focused publication with over 118,000 subscribers, making it the HVAC industry's most widely circulated publication.
