NEW! Value of a Manufacturer's Rep

Late last year the ECIA released the results of the study entitled, ‘The Value Delivered by Authorized Channel Partners for Electronic Components,’ to identify, analyze, and document the value of authorized channel partners in the electronics components supply chain. The study was conclusive: working with the authorized channel yields key benefits in important strategic and competitive areas.

This report investigates the process of employing manufacturer reps to bolster geographic presence, focusing on their profound relationships with local clientele, which makes them indispensable in channel partnerships.
