We are re-releasing the first episodes of The Fireside Chat in audio0only to catch up with our releases on The Mackey Group YouTube Channel. In our fourth episode of the TMG Fireside Chat, John Mackey sits down with John Demeter, President of Wesco. We talk about recent industry news regarding: • 3M’s exit of the fire protection market, • Carrier’s decision to spin Kidde Fire & Security out of their portfolio, and • how the big, international conglomerates are managing challenges across the industry

We also share our thoughts on the industry’s consolidation over the last 35+ years and where things might be headed, while we highlight the resiliency of the fire protection industry and expectations of the private equity, family office investor. Bigger isn’t necessarily better in fire protection.

Make sure you like and subscribe to this channel. We plan to drop video blogs at least 1x a month.
