Eldon Seeks (and Finds) a Few Good Agents
Even with the pace of global economic growth slowed at present, Eldon’s international business is going great guns. The renowned electrical enclosure manufacturing and distribution firm has recently brought five more countries into the Eldon fold. Panel builders in Russia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Chile, Ukraine and Italy can now quickly and easily order high-quality Eldon enclosures from friendly, well-trained Eldon distributors. This brings the number of countries in which Eldon has a presence to more than thirty.
The rapid growth of Eldon’s ability to deliver its enclosures almost anywhere in the world is even more impressive when one considers that becoming an Eldon distributor is not that easy. While Eldon wants to reach as many customers as possible, the firm thoroughly investigates each company interested in working to distribute its products. This examination is as much for the distributors benefit as Eldon’s, as they want to make be certain that signing on the dotted line is the right decision for both parties as well as the end users.
“Eldon takes its distributor network very seriously,” says Arnold Boekema, Eldon’s Export Manager. “When we call our distributors ‘partners,’ it’s more than just lip service. We provide training on Eldon’s products on site as well as offering additional courses and learning experiences in our factories. We want an Eldon franchise to have value for the distributor and therefore aim to put everything in place from Day One to ensure success. Furthermore, we want to be considered an integral part of our distributor’s business plans moving forward.”
Each of Eldon’s new distributors is an independent industrial electrical distributor that carries stock locally and possesses the right resources to offer first class service in the country in which they are based
Eldon not only provides distributors with its main catalogue in each distributor’s home country’s language, the firm works together with its partners to develop joint marketing activities that enable the affiliates to leverage the quality of the Eldon brand while meeting the distinct needs of their local markets.
