Your
Interest in Becoming a Distributor
Thank
you for your interest in becoming a distributor of our products.
Since
we are seeking to establish distributors in certain territories
and states, we have established policies for becoming a successful
authorized distributor.
Size
of Organization
Our
distributors and dealers are companies of all sizes, ranging from
large corporations to start-up businesses. We do not require you
to purchase huge quantities of product to become a distributor.
Even though we prefer some experience in the lubricant business
and / or automotive additives and aftermarket products, this is
not essential. The distributor will need to handle the warehousing
and distribution of our products to all the different market segments.
It is preferable that the distributor already have an existing business
with wholesalers and retailers with a similar type of product or
others that are compatible with industries that require lubricants
and additives.
Finally,
it is important that the distributor have an excellent reputation
within the business environment.
Distribution
Coverage
The
distributor should have the ability to cover the entire assigned
territory and distribute to the various distribution levels of the
auto, truck, industrial, and marine market segments, such as to
very large multi-chain store franchises, supermarkets, hardware
stores, lubricant distributors and wholesalers, quick-lube chains,
full-service stations, car dealerships, automotive wholesalers,
auto parts stores, tire store service centers, to small 'Mom &
Pop' garages or repair shops, single location gas stations and oil
changers, oil dealers, car washes, etc.
Additional
targets are transportation fleets, such as taxis, buses and trucking,
marinas, industrial and agriculture (farm) equipment distributors
and service centers, hardware stores, etc., and for industry applications
in general.
Distributor

We
will enter into an Exclusive Distributorship Agreement with the

The agreement covers issues such as, sales, advertising, marketing,
merchandising, technical support, etc.
