Appalachian Sales Group to Service NAVAC Customers Across Six States

Lyndhurst, NJNAVAC, the world’s largest supplier of HVAC vacuum pumps in addition to a wide array of tools, gauges, charging machines and other industry-specific items, has engaged a new Sales Agency, Appalachian Sales Group (ASG), to market, sell and service its customers. ASG will represent the company in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, East Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina.

Appalachian Sales Group, ASG, was the new name given to Shive & Associates in 1999. Originally launched by Jerry Shive in 1986 as a small company above his garage, Jerry changed the company’s name to reflect its substantial growth along the Appalachian mountain range. Now headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, and employing ten professional associates, ASG’s territory ranges from the deep South up through the mid-Atlantic states.

“We are excited to represent the NAVAC product line, as NAVAC fits our model of providing highly functional tools and equipment to the HVAC trade while making their jobs easier and more profitable,” said Andrew Shive of the Appalachian Sales Group. “Our distribution partners will be key as we work together to offer unique solutions to our HVAC communities.”

“NAVAC is extremely pleased to welcome the outstanding ASG to our team,” said Stephen Rutherford, Director of HVAC Tools Business for NAVAC, “as we widen the territory of customers having access to NAVAC’s diverse array of user-friendly equipment and tools.”
