Trane recently issued a proclamation to every member of the Air Engineers, L.L.C. team to recognize and celebrate the company’s 70th anniversary. Air Engineers has been a Trane distributor since the 1940s and is the company’s longest-running independent wholesale distributor. Air Engineers services Alabama and Northwest Florida through its main office in Birmingham, AL, and its two warehouses.

Air Engineers has a long history of recognition and awards, as the company has earned five Pacesetter awards and a President’s Cup award from Trane for its outstanding performance and contributions to the markets it serves.

Air Engineers was recognized on May 5, during Trane’s Distributor Alliance Program (DAP). Since starting in 2007, the biannual DAP meeting provides an opportunity for leaders of Trane independent wholesale distributors to meet with the company’s senior leadership. “Air Engineers is the longest-running Trane independent distributor with continuous family ownership by the Bissell family,” says Paul Adair, independent wholesaler distributor regional manager for Trane. “Their success over the years is a testament to the value they deliver to the marketplace.”

Since the day Elmer Jefferson Bissell founded Air Engineers, the company has always known the value of good customer service and strives day-in and day-out to provide it better than anyone else. “Trane is an organization driven to be the best by making the best and that parallels Air Engineers’ way of doing business,” says Hal Bissell, president of Air Engineers.

“Our commitment is to provide every dealer with everything they need to be successful, whether it’s great products, a huge inventory, extensive training or an entire team of professionals eager to help at every turn. We are not the largest independent distributor, but the oldest, and it’s nice to see that Trane views us as an important partner. Over the decades, the two companies have shared some extremely important values; both of us have a passion for innovation and excellence. We’re deeply honored by this recognition.”
