Duraplas, a provider of innovative plastic solutions, announced its partnership with MARS, a renowned master distributor in the HVAC-R industry. 

Duraplas will provide MARS and its extensive network with access to the innovative PolarPad line of condenser pads to reshape the landscape of HVAC-R products.

PolarPad line

The HVAC-R industry has long faced limited options for condenser pads due to industry consolidation. 

This partnership introduces a welcome change as distributors will have the opportunity to diversify their product offerings and provide a broader range of condenser pads to their customers. With the addition of the PolarPad line, they can cater to a wider audience with varying needs.

MARS finds a high-quality addition to its product lineup after an extensive search

MARS, known for its history of exceptional service and quality, boasts an extensive distribution network that spans the United States, Canada, and Latin America.

The collaboration is a win-win for both companies, with Duraplas securing nationwide distribution through MARS, while MARS finds a high-quality addition to its product lineup after an extensive search for a product meeting its rigorous standards.

"We got our hands on the sample of this PolarPad and it clicked on a lot of the right levels in terms of product design,” said Frank Mehler, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales for MARS, adding “The PolarPad hit a lot of the right bells and whistles that we're looking for. Then as we learned more about the product, it became evident that this was different."

HVAC-R space innovation

Although Duraplas has a strong legacy in plastics manufacturing, it is a relative newcomer in the HVAC-R industry. However, the partnership with MARS positions Duraplas strategically alongside an experienced and trusted partner with deep industry insights.

MARS' market knowledge and understanding of customer needs will fuel Duraplas to innovate further within the HVAC-R space.

"In the ever-evolving landscape of the HVAC-R industry, with its significant market size and the constant changes in energy regulations, we see vast opportunities from this collaboration," said Matt Hanson, Vice President of Business Development for Duraplas, adding "The partnership with MARS is a pivotal step in solidifying our commitment to deliver high-quality solutions to the distributor network."
