Modine's Innovation Tour Begins
Nationwide Trek.
|
Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD) is pleased to launch
its 2016 Innovation Tour. It's one thing to develop a massive,
53-foot long exhibit trailer to be pulled behind a polished big
rig cab. It's quite another to learn that Modine, now
celebrating its 100th anniversary, has spent the past year
developing the impressive Building HVAC learning-lab-on-wheels
that made its debut at this year's "AHR" Air-conditioning,
Heating Refrigerating Expo.
The kicker is that the gleaming behemoth rolled out from
Orlando, after the show, to begin a 10,000-mile, cross-country
tour of North America – branded The Innovation Tour.
According to Ray Schaffart, Marketing and Sales Support Manager
for Modine's Building HVAC business, Modine's Innovation Tour is
a traveling road show that will take the manufacturer's
technology to the front doorsteps of thousands of allied trade
professionals – architects, engineers and design/build
contractors – who might otherwise miss the chance to see the
gear in action, and to speak with Modine pros.
"After its premier at AHR Expo, the rig moved out on its 2016
North American tour of 46-cities," said Schaffart. "From
Savannah to Seattle, Denver to Detroit, Toronto to Charlotte,
and many places in between, the Innovation Tour is designed to
showcase Modine's complete line of heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems, solutions we've been hard at work on for
100 years. It also emphasizes Modine's commitment to the
Building HVAC markets, an area we are targeting for significant
growth."

"But it's not just about product," continued Schaffart. "We're
awarding free CEU and accredited NATE courses to make the experience
that much more rewarding."
Schaffart explained that with Modine's newly-diversified products
and technology, the time was right to launch this tour.
"As the company celebrates its 100th anniversary, it's a perfect
time to promote our broader technology," added Schaffart. "Our
Building HVAC group is very well recognized when it comes to unit
heaters, but it's time for new outreach among prospective buyers and
specifiers. We want to be top-of-mind for our engineered solutions
as well."
The trailer, which impressively unfolds in "Transformer" style into
three stages and a slide-out classroom, includes an Atherion®
packaged rooftop ventilation system, an operating school HVAC unit,
an interactive Modine Controls System module, the newly AHRI-certified
geothermal systems, and finally, Effinity™ and Hot Dawg™ unit
heaters.
