Additionally, Rawson/ICD’s recent performance shows that customers value their focus on cutting-edge solutions, which provides opportunities for growth for our suppliers and team members – a perfect fit with Relevant’s values.”
Eric Chernik, Building Controls & Solutions’ CEO, noted, “We are excited to bring together two strong Building Automation and Controls teams by integrating ICD’s commercial division into our business. The addition of ICD’s commercial group enhances our position as a distributor and service provider that brings global product brands and inventory together with local in-market technical resources. Together our enhanced solutions will bring customized, value-added services to our commercial building customers every day.”
