“Assigning this new market responsibility to Modern Group was a logical choice,” said Jeff Slayton, northeast regional development manager, Generac. “Not only do they have the overall capacity, facilities, and presence across New Jersey, but they have demonstrated a real commitment to growing their business. Modern Group is a key distribution partner of Generac Power Systems, and this extension of their territory is exciting for us both.”
Modern Group provides Generac backup power solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications—from as small as 3 kilowatts all the way up to 9 megawatts. They also have electronically dispatched technicians who are certified by both Generac and the Electrical Generating Systems Association (EGSA), as well as a fully stocked parts department.
“Modern Group is thrilled to expand our relationship with Generac,” said John McClure, general manager, Modern Group Power Systems. “We see tremendous opportunities for the growth of backup power across New Jersey. We look forward to working with Generac in this new capacity.”
