ACR GROUP INCORPORATED- LAS VEGAS

ACR Group, Inc. is one of the nation's leading independent wholesale distributors of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment, parts and supplies. Founded in 1990, ACR Group has grown through acquisitions and internally to 54 branch locations in 10 states, primarily in the sunbelt. Our growth has been accomplished through an articulated strategy of timely and opportunity-driven acquisitions and expansions. The wisdom of this strategy is evident in the success we have experienced.

Our customers are service and construction contractors who install, repair and replace residential and commercial air conditioning, heating and refrigeration systems. We know that their success drives ours, so we strive to provide the tools our customers need to do their jobs. In addition to stocking a full array of equipment, parts and supplies at competitive prices in each of our branch operations, we provide superior technical assistance, product information and training, sales and marketing assistance, and business management guidance as requested. Our customers know that we have been there for them, and we will be there in the future. We are among the industry leaders in information technology. All field operations tie into a central computer system through a high speed Intranet managed in Houston. This system allows for a complete integration of the company's accounting system for up-to-the-minute sales information and asset management. We presently are working with our major suppliers in arranging full communication of inventory information that will allow for improved inventory balancing and reduced inventory needs at each branch location.
