QUALIFIED LOCAL-MARKET PARTNERS

Local Knowledge First. Cooperation Structure Second.

We welcome established and developing partners who understand their customer, route to market and product requirements. A useful discussion starts with the target category, price position, sales channel, compliance needs and realistic order plan.

Cooperation terms are reviewed individually. Distributor or agent status does not automatically include territory exclusivity, fixed pricing, guaranteed margins or reserved production capacity.

01

Importers

Buyers coordinating market requirements, product sourcing and inbound supply.

02

Distributors

Partners building wholesale, retail or regional dealer coverage.

03

Sales Agents

Representatives with defined market access and a transparent cooperation model.

04

Private-Label Buyers

Businesses developing branded footwear for a specific channel or customer group.

Regional footwear assortment planning

ASSORTMENT PLANNING

Select for the Customer You Actually Serve.

A distributor program should not begin with the largest possible catalog. Start with a focused assortment matched to climate, use case, price position, size demand and channel.

CategoryRunning, training, lifestyle, outdoor or another reviewed direction
ConsumerIntended use, age group, fit expectations and buying priorities
ChannelWholesale, retail, e-commerce, institutional or mixed distribution
Commercial scopeExpected quantity, price target, launch dates and replenishment assumptions

POSSIBLE COOPERATION MODELS

Choose a Route That Matches Your Business.

The final commercial structure, responsibilities and market scope are confirmed in writing after both parties review the opportunity.

02 / DISTRIBUTION

Regional Product Program

Review a focused product range for wholesale, retail or defined regional channels.

03 / AGENT COOPERATION

Introductions and Market Development

Define territory, customer scope, communication, order ownership and compensation separately.

Important: exclusivity, territory protection, commission, payment terms, trademarks and sales targets apply only when expressly agreed in a written contract.
