Parts distributor adds Midea, broadens Speed Queen catalog

By Alan Wolf, YSN

BrandSource service partner Marcone, the St. Louis-based parts distributor, has broadened its portfolio of appliance repair parts with the addition of the Midea and Speed Queen brands.

The partnership with Midea America, a subsidiary of the Fortune 500 Midea Group, affords next-day delivery of repair solutions for the company’s kitchen and laundry appliances to servicers across the country. The new pact is particularly timely, following Midea’s move to two-year parts and labor warranty coverage on all major appliances.

“Midea is an exciting addition to the Marcone family of brands roster,” said Marcone President Greg Fleischut. “Their appliances are in millions of homes around the United States, so it’s a privilege to provide repair parts for those products throughout North America.”

The Midea addition comes on the heels of an expanded partnership with Speed Queen, which added 170 of the brand’s commercial and retail repair parts to the distributor’s website, Mymarcone.com. The offering supplemented Marcone’s existing Speed Queen residential solutions.

“We are proud to carry a robust inventory of Speed Queen residential and commercial parts,” Fleischut said. “Speed Queen is an industry staple and their commitment to quality and reliability makes them an excellent partner for Marcone.”

Both moves follow a recent expansion of Marcone’s appliance inventory, availability and support information for Haier.

Marcone maintains nearly 200 locations across  the U.S. and Canada, including distribution centers in most major metropolitan areas, which provide next-day delivery to 93% of the U.S. and two-day delivery to 100% of the country.
