Kian Capital’s Team Air Accelerates Expansion, Wins Pinnacle Performance Award for Eighth Time

Kian Capital-backed Team Air Distributing (“Team Air”), a leading wholesale distributor providing OEM-branded HVAC equipment, parts and supplies to residential and commercial contractors, is proud to announce landmark expansion across key markets and its eighth Pinnacle Performance Award. The Pinnacle Award is provided by Team Air’s partner Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), honoring American Standard partners for high performance in five crucial operating metrics.

In January, Team Air opened three branch locations in the Northern Georgia and Metro Atlanta areas. The company plans to open three more in June, bringing the company to 14 total branch locations currently, with plans to add an additional four in 2025, creating a total of 18 branches plus its corporate facility in Nashville. Additionally, the platform will expand its Tennessee presence and plant a flag in the East Tennessee region by opening a branch in the Tri-Cities area in June. Team Air was awarded the Georgia-based territories by its OEM partner American Standard in the fall of 2024, concurrent with the platform’s September acquisition of Best Choice Supply.

“It’s a true honor to be consistently recognized with American Standard’s Pinnacle Award and to have five of our territory managers highlighted as the top 10 sales representatives in the U.S.,” said Jeff Wallace, President & CEO of Team Air. “This accomplishment truly speaks to the breadth and depth of the people we have aboard, our incredible team growth over the years and how dedicated the entire company is to providing world-class customer service. We plan to leverage this momentum to continue to expand our presence.”

Team Air is actively seeking partnerships with like-minded founders with businesses that supply wholesale residential and commercial equipment, parts and supplies including HVAC, plumbing and electrical.
