Founded in 1983, CGNA is the leading network of Distributor Members and Manufacturer Preferred Vendors in the HVAC/R industry, and is owned by a national group of independent controls distributors.

CGNA began as a buying group for 17 years until the Board of Directors decided to re-evaluate the core services and re-brand CGNA as a marketing and technology services group.

The concept behind the re-branding was to provide Distributor Members and Manufacturer Preferred Vendors with marketing and technology tools they could use to promote their products more effectively. CGNA has created a marketing team that includes: public relations, graphic design and information technology experts. These new capabilities help re-shape the way CGNA Members and Preferred Vendors do business.
