QuickFitting bolsters national reach with two new regional sales managers

Seasoned leaders to accelerate the adoption of QuickFitting’s rapidly growing press and push‑to‑connect product lines

QuickFitting announced the addition of two veteran sales professionals who will deepen regional coverage as the company introduces a wave of new solutions to market.

Mike Foster joins QuickFitting as West Regional Sales Manager. Foster brings more than 25 years of outside‑sales success with major HVAC manufacturers, recognized for building distributor relationships and mentoring teams across the western United States.

QuickFitting has named Bill Braisted Regional Sales Manager for the Southeast. Braisted has spent nearly two decades in building‑products sales and specification, guiding multifamily and commercial projects throughout the Southeast and establishing strong ties with architects, engineers and distribution partners.

As Regional Sales Managers, Foster and Braisted will concentrate on cultivating lasting relationships with manufacturer representatives, distributors, contractors and the design community. Their priority is to champion QuickFitting’s SurePress and push-to-connect technologies in the field, broadening market awareness, securing new distribution agreements and ensuring partners have the training and support they need to specify and install QuickFitting products with confidence. Working closely with their representative agencies, they will host product demonstrations, share best practices and relay customer insights that help QuickFitting stay ahead of evolving job‑site needs. 

“Mike and Bill understand what contractors need on the jobsite and how distributors measure success,” says Bill Hunsberger, the company’s Director of Wholesale Sales. “Their experience and energy will help QuickFitting reach additional customers, secure new project specifications and support our partners throughout an ambitious product‑launch schedule.”

The appointments coincide with the rollout of next‑generation SurePress fittings, an expanded push‑to‑connect refrigerant line for HVAC/R technicians, and upcoming brass push-to-connect product line extension later this year. Together, these launches reinforce QuickFitting’s one‑system approach to simplifying installs and driving contractor productivity.
