You should know
where it comes from
We do not hide our supply chain behind the word "sourced". These are the producers and principals we represent, what each of them makes, and exactly which products in our catalogue come from them.

Agent, distributor,
or both
For some partners we act as agent: we represent them commercially in our territory and the material invoices directly from the producer. For others we buy, stock and sell on our own account. Several are both, depending on the product and the volume.
Either way you know the origin of what arrives, and the producer's technical people are reachable through us rather than behind a trading desk.
