Progressive CI is the Home and CI-focused division of the Progressive Group, a national network of independent, regionally based local manufacturer representative firms. As you might expect, given the “CI” in the group’s Progressive CI name, this rep organization is very focused on the custom integration channel. As such, Progressive CI reps have deep product knowledge and offer their dealers a high level of personalized support. This support includes training, system planning, on-site troubleshooting, and post-installation care.
A Shared Commitment to the CI Channel
This partnership brings together two teams that are deeply committed to the CI channel. Our job is to make sure dealers feel confident taking on these premium systems, and that starts with the kind of hands-on support that only a local team can provide.
