CIS Industries welcomed customers, partners, and manufacturers to our New Orleans headquarters in Harahan, Louisiana for our 2026 Vendor Showcase, an event built around connection, collaboration, and Louisiana hospitality.
The result? An incredible turnout, meaningful conversations, and a day that exceeded every expectation.
A Strong Turnout from Across the HVAC Industry
We were proud to host:
  • 30 leading HVAC manufacturers and vendors
  • 350+ customers and partners
  • 450+ total attendees, including CIS team members and exhibitors
The level of engagement throughout the day reinforced CIS’s role as a trusted HVAC manufacturers’ representative in the Southeast and highlighted the strength of our relationships across the industry.
Industry Leadership in Attendance
A highlight of the event was welcoming Chirag Baijal, Managing Director of Applied Equipment (North America) for Carrier, CIS’s longest-standing manufacturer partner.
His presence, and reaction to the event, underscored the impact of what CIS continues to build: a platform where manufacturers, engineers, and contractors come together to move projects and partnerships forward.
A True Louisiana Experience
The Vendor Showcase wasn’t just about equipment and solutions, it was an experience.
Guests enjoyed:
  • 1,000 lbs of boiled crawfish
  • 1,000 Drago’s char-grilled oysters
  • Rick’s famous jambalaya
  • Alligator tacos, burgers, and fresh-off-the-grill favorites
Combined with live music, March Madness on the big screen, games, and giveaways, the event delivered an authentic Louisiana atmosphere that made networking feel natural and enjoyable.
Meaningful Connections That Drive Projects Forward
Beyond the food and entertainment, the real value of the day was the opportunity for face-to-face interaction.
Attendees were able to:
  • Explore interactive vendor displays and HVAC solutions
  • Connect directly with CIS team members across all divisions
  • Strengthen relationships with trusted manufacturers like Carrier, Danfoss, Marley, Grundfos, Panasonic, Krueger, and Nailor Industries
  • Have real conversations that lead to better project outcomes and long-term partnerships
A Reflection of CIS’s Commitment to the Industry
Events like the CIS Vendor Showcase are a direct reflection of our mission: to provide Mechanical Solutions across every territory we serve while building lasting relationships with our customers and partners.
The overwhelming turnout, and the willingness of so many to spend their day with us, speaks volumes. It reinforces that CIS is not only delivering solutions, but also creating a community within the HVAC industry.
