The Collins Cos. announced that its Niagara Controls and Collins Niagara divisions have been named the exclusive manufacturer’s representative for upstate New York for the Farris, Clark Reliance, Vanec, and Adsco product lines.

These new manufacturers will be supported by Ron Pilarski from an outside sales perspective and Scott Wagner will handle the inside sales responsibilities. Both of these individuals are industry veterans, who previously have performed these same duties for another organization.

“Beginning on March 1, Niagara Controls and Collins Niagara will represent these product lines for all of upstate New York,” said Brian Tuohey, president of The Collins Cos. “With four current upstate New York locations and the welcome addition of Ron and Scott to an already very strong New York sales team, we are confident that we will be able to meet and exceed our customer’s expectations while we work hard to expand the market presence and the territory coverage for each of these signature, market leading product lines.”

“Safety Relief Valves and these additional engineered products are very important components of our overall business strategy and we are thrilled to include these manufacturers as great enhancements to our current product portfolio,” added Joe Clemente, managing partner of Niagara Controls.
