Architectural Resources Inc. Named Mid-Atlantic Agents for PDQ Manufacturing
Leola, Pa. (PRWEB) April 10, 2017 -- PDQ Manufacturing, Leola, Pa., has named Architectural Resources, Inc., Greenbelt, Md., its manufacturer’s representatives for a large territory in the mid-Atlantic states.
Architectural Resources, with seven employees spread across the region, has served Division 8 and Division 10 manufacturers there for almost 34 years. The company covers eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia for PDQ.
Mike Clancy, president of the agent firm, said his company prides itself on outstanding relationships with the region’s contract hardware distributors. “We’ve known many of them for years,” he said.
“We also have a strong relationship with architects. That’s very appropriate considering the direction that PDQ has taken in recent years, catering to the architectural community much more than previously. Today, this is a forward-looking manufacturer, one that is working to provide quality products at a good price level.
“Really, our goal is to establish ourselves as consultants to the industry much more than sales persons.”
Architectural Resources is especially active in dealings with the Construction Specifications Institute and with the American Institute of Architects. The firm provides frequent AIA-accredited Continuing Education Unit programs, normally about 40 in a year.
“We know Mike Clancy and his people well,” said Rollie Rittner, PDQ’s Vice President, Sales. “They bring deep expertise to this most important and demanding territory. They have the skilled staff and fundamental knowledge to manage it properly.”
