Distributor Program
We build the hardware, hold the component stock and keep the engineering. What we are not good at is being local — and that is the job we are asking you to take. In return you get margin that leaves room to run a real business, a territory that is yours on paper, and every enquiry from that territory sent to you first.
Margin band, first-order quantity and delivery dates are commercial terms agreed per partner and confirmed in your own price list. The figures above describe how the program is built.
What you get
A margin that survives your own overheads, a region you can invest in without being undermined from behind, and support when a customer asks a question you cannot answer alone. That is the whole program.
Partner pricing is structured to leave 50–80% gross margin headroom on your landed cost. The point of that band is that it covers your own costs — sales, stock, local support — and still leaves a business worth running.
Your region is set out in the agreement, and the brand support that goes with it is real material, not a logo file: promotion assets, technical training and second-line support from our engineers.
Most of our buyers arrive through this website, and they do not always know a local partner exists. When an enquiry names your region, it reaches you before anyone else.
The support around the brand
Product photography, English datasheets, print material and exhibition assets — supplied ready to use in your own channels, under the LINBLENET brand.
Online sessions and documentation for your sales team and your first line of support, covering selection, configuration and the faults that come up in the field.
Application questions, configuration problems and after-sales escalations go to the engineering team that wrote the firmware — not to a shared mailbox.
Component and sub-assembly stock covering one to two months of demand per model, a rolling forecast arrangement, and an agreed replacement path for units that fail in the field.
The other half of the deal
A margin band only survives if both sides protect it. These are the four commitments we ask for in return — they are what make the numbers above possible rather than aspirational.
Our products are sold offline by design and are not permitted to be listed on public marketplaces. A channel that races to the bottom cannot hold a 50–80% band for anyone.
Quote and support customers in your own region. If a project crosses two territories, tell us — we would rather broker it with you than have two partners bidding against each other.
A monthly or quarterly view of what you expect to sell. It is what lets us hold the right component stock before the order lands, instead of after.
If a customer asks for certificates or compliance paperwork, ask us which documents apply to that model. Quoting a certificate number that does not cover the model is the fastest way to lose a tender.
How it starts
Tell us the region you want, the lines you would carry and what you sell today.
We check whether that region already has a partner and come back within one working day.
Territory, margin band, first-order quantity, training and marketing support — written down.
Marketing material and training go out, the first order is placed, and your region goes live.
Questions distributors ask
The band is how the program is built, not a fixed promise to every partner. Where you land inside it depends on the product line and the annual volume you commit to, and the figure is written into your own price list at the start of the agreement.
Two things protect it: we do not run a competing local channel in your territory, and the products are not sold on public marketplaces. If either of those changed, the band would not hold — so keeping them is in both our interests.
It depends on the region and how mature the market is. A well-established region can be granted exclusively; a new one may start as a preferred partner with a path to exclusivity once volume targets are met. Either way it is written into the agreement, and it is a conversation we have honestly rather than a promise we make to everyone.
Whatever form it takes, enquiries naming your region are routed to you first.
The first-order quantity is agreed with your territory and the range you take on, rather than set as a single global number. Samples start from a single unit — including a printed label with your details, despatched the same working day at no charge — so you can evaluate the product before committing to stock.
Once stock is in place, orders up to 500 units are typically despatched in around 10 days. Where a new production run is needed, the lead time is 25–35 days.
No. Our products are sold offline by design and are not permitted to be listed on public marketplaces. It is not a technical restriction — it is the reason a margin band can exist at all.
You are welcome to build your own website and generate enquiries through it. What we ask partners to avoid is listing units on open platforms where the only competition is on price.
We pass the enquiry to you. We tell them a local partner exists and hand over the contact, and you take it from there.
If you would rather we handled the first technical exchange before handing it over, that works too — say so in the agreement and it is written down rather than left to interpretation.
Apply
We reply within one working day. If the region is taken, we will tell you straight away rather than keep you in a queue — and if it is open, the next message is your price list and the terms.
