How Compressor Distributors Bring Value to the End Customer

As a manufacturer, Sullivan-Palatek recognizes that compressed air systems can be complex. Therefore most of our rotary screw compressor sales to the industry go through a distributor. Some of the distributor’s duties include: Face to face contact with the end customer Product selection, including sizing and feature specification Integration of all components of the full compressed air system Setting operating parameters including pressure and modulation Installation and electrical connection Receiving products damage-free from trucking company Providing after-sale service and repairs Advocating after the sale issues with the manufacturer Customers that use a qualified distributor should expect to see better uptime, reduced energy costs, longer equipment life, and improved application results.
