Distribution rights

Good distribution provides the thrust for every business. The right choice and structuring of a distribution system and its contractual foundation is therefore all the more important. Against a backdrop of heightened competition on markets the smooth running of distribution procedures is a prerequisite for the generation of sales and customer loyalty.
