Goodman Distribution, Inc., a subsidiary of Daikin Industries,

of Robinson Plumbing & Heating Supply Co., Inc., an existing
distributor of Goodman, Amana® and Daikin brand residential
unitary and light commercial products in the Northeast.
“The acquisition of Robinson supports our growth strategy and is
a key step in expanding our distribution footprint in the
Northeast,” said Ardee Toppe, Senior Vice President and
President of Goodman, Quietflex and PTAC Business Units.
Robinson will continue to supply and promote the full line of
residential unitary and light commercial Goodman, Amana® and

Robinson will maintain
its Fall River, Massachusetts headquarters and management structure
throughout its existing branch locations.
“Goodman and Robinson have enjoyed a great relationship since 1994
working with one another as separate entities,” Toppe said. “As we
embark on this new chapter, I am confident our greatest successes
are ahead of us as part of the same organization.”
The announcement comes on the heels of Daikin’s November acquisition
of Stevens Equipment Supply, LLC and its 18 branch locations across
13 states, from Minnesota to Nevada.

years, beginning with the $3.7 billion purchase of Goodman Global

Houston, Texas that includes research and development,
