MORSCO HVAC Supply, a Fort Worth, Texas-based distributor of heating and cooling equipment (HVAC), has acquired Ott Distributors, a Charleston, South Carolina-based HVAC distributor.

In the transaction, all Ott Distributors associates will operate under the Ott Distributors/MORSCO HVAC Supply brand. This will be the first MORSCO HVAC Supply branch on the East Coast.

Ott Distributors has been serving Charleston and the surrounding area with quality parts and equipment for more than 40 years. In 2011, Ott was named HEIL's 2011 Single Point Distributor of the Year.

“At Ott Distributors we pride ourselves on providing our customers with the parts and products, service and knowledge they need,” said Chip Hester, president, Ott Distributors. “MORSCO HVAC Supply prides itself on these same principles, so our customers can expect high service levels and access to even more inventory and expertise, and enhanced tools like online ordering through the MORSCO HVAC Supply website.”

To oversee MORSCO HVAC Supply’s growth in the Eastern U.S., Bob Bermudez has been named vice president, HVAC, Eastern Region. He has nearly 20 years of experience in HVAC and regional sales roles, most recently as VP HVAC Sales at Baker Distributing Company and Regional Manager with Goodman Manufacturing.
