Dear Valued Customer,

As we embark on this new year, I think we can all feel a slight sense of uncertainty in the air. The tariffs and market volatility are affecting us all, and we are seeing industry price increases across the board. Though we are doing our best to mitigate the effects of these upcoming increases on your businesses, it's not easy. Like you, we are managing these changes as they come.

Even in this shaky environment, you can count on Hunton to support you. At Hunton Distribution, we are still focused on top-tier customer service. It's Q1, and we have already hosted over 20+ training courses for our customers to keep them abreast of technical changes, as well as sales, rebate, and business courses. We take a whole-business approach to how we help our dealers grow.

Be sure you are taking advantage of all that we offer: generators, rentals, indoor air quality products, sales plans (local and national consumer and utility promotions to keep your price competitive), technical support, marketing - any need you may have regarding installation - we have it!

As I've said before, Please stay connected, download our new HD App, view our product catalogs, and stay in the know. Have you signed up for our e-store? Did you know you can call OR text us to place an order? (281)-486-8661

Remember, we share in our successes, and we are here for you... and ready to support you.

Warmest Regards,

Charlie Hunton

President and Owner of Hunton Distribution

The Woodlands, Texas – February 13^th, 2025

Hunton Distribution, along with its regional and national Trane and Mitsubishi partners, hosted its 2025 Dealer Meeting at the Woodland Waterway Marriott Convention Center on February 13, 2025, bringing together top industry professionals and customers for an evening of networking, insight, and inspiration.

Hunton’s valued customers had the opportunity to engage with over 40 of our trusted vendor partners. It was the largest turnout Hunton Distribution has had – 456 attendees! The event was a fantastic showcase of innovative products and solutions, allowing attendees to explore the latest offerings, network with industry experts, and discover new opportunities for collaboration. It was a great success, fostering strong relationships and providing valuable insights into the future of the distribution industry. Once attendees finished visiting with vendors, Charlie Hunton, president of Hunton Distribution, welcomed and thanked guests for their continued loyalty and success through 2024. He illustrated what it means to “Tackle the Bull” – noting all dealers face exterior obstacles that are out of our control and how we must deal with these difficulties head-on.

One of the major highlights of the event was an inspiring keynote address by legendary football and hall of fame coach, Jimmy Johnson, who shared his experiences and leadership principles with attendees. Trane was also awarded the esteemed “Most Trusted Award” once again in 2024 for the11^th time.

Other Event Highlights: state of the industry, marketing and operations updates, Trane and Mitsubishi presentations from Rich Vinson, Trane’s Regional Manager of Independent Distribution, and Erik Gray, Mitsubishi’s Regional Sales Manager; vendor product show and meet and greet, “Top Gun” winners and incentive trips announced, and the grand finale—autographs and pictures with Jimmy Johnson.

Finke's 5K Rainbow Run:

On March 1st, we came together for a meaningful 5K to honor and remember Jaclyn Finke, wife of Michael Finke. More than just a tribute, this event was an opportunity to support students in their pursuit of higher education.

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors like Hunton Distribution and the dedication of participants, next year’s scholarship will be awarded to 10 deserving students. The event at Magnolia Junior High School was truly special, bringing together family, friends, Hunton Distribution co-workers, teachers, and students—united in celebrating Jaclyn’s legacy and making a difference.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed—your support is making a real impact!

Walker Thomas Lane Food Drive, Packing Day, and Donation Success!

Hunton Distribution has partnered with the Walker Thomas Lane Foundation to feed impoverished children by providing meals throughout the school year. As part of this initiative, our team hosted a company-wide food drive, collecting essential supplies to donate to two local Elementary Schools – Eckert and Greenspoint.

Hunton Distribution will help distribute these supplies to the schools throughout the year ensuring that children and their families have access to the resources they need. Our employees come together to pack these food items into baggies, having them ready to make a meaningful impact. Since our partnership, we have made over 970 bags! We are grateful for the opportunity to support our community and are excited to continue fostering positive change. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed!

On March 20th, our team was able to attend the St. Jude Dream Home Wall Signing in College Station. It's so special to be a part of these charitable builds that provide funds for children and families fighting pediatric cancers.

Trane provides the equipment at no cost to St. Jude and then Hunton Distribution partners with our amazing local Trane dealers (in this case, Barker's Heating & Cooling) to have the units installed. The house is then raffled off, and all proceeds go to St. Jude!

Shout out to to our Hunton Distribution Territory Manager, Doug Romero, for being featured on the local news!
