JOHNSON CITY, NY - Meier Supply, a coalition partner of NATE (North American Technician Excellence), Inc., has begun offering the NATE test locally.

Meier, Jr., president of Meier Supply Co., Inc., and immediate past president of HARDI (Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration Distributors International).

Rex Boynton, president of NATE, views Meier's commitment to the program as a valuable asset in spreading the word about the benefits of technical certification.
