Dan Davis Sales

What Dan Davis Sales does

Dan Davis Sales is a third-generation family-owned manufacturers' representative company founded in 1976 in Springvale, Maine, operating today under the ownership and presidency of Paul Levesque (Dan Davis's son-in-law), with Dan Davis's grandsons Mike and Evan Levesque among the next-generation outside sales team. The company represents 15 manufacturers across plumbing, heating, and renewable energy product categories, including furnaces and boilers, hydronic systems, gas and oil burner controls, solar/bio-mass/geothermal solutions, plumbing products, residential and commercial water treatment, HDPE piping, and hydronic and thermal expansion tanks. Its represented brand portfolio spans long-standing relationships such as New Yorker (since 1976), Boyertown (1992), Hydrolevel (1996), Caleffi (2003), and TRIO (2008), plus newer additions including Intellihot (2022), Centennial Plastics (2025), Seitron Americas (2025), and GE Appliances (2026).

The company earns commission-based revenue by connecting its represented manufacturers with a network of 800 wholesale distribution locations and the contractors and engineers purchasing through them across all six New England states (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut). Its primary differentiation against competing rep firms is the fleet of 7 mobile 'Live Fire' demo trailers that provide hands-on product training and demonstration to contractors throughout the region, supported by a 'Service After The Sale' after-sales support model with both inside and field technical support. Dan Davis Sales does not develop proprietary technology, does not hold inventory, and does not set product pricing; rather, it functions as a sales, training, and technical-support channel between manufacturers and the wholesale/contractor base, with headcount in the 11-50 range and a third-generation family ownership structure that has now spanned nearly 50 years.
