01
Distributor & Importer
Build an approved resale range and keep products, finishes, configurations and repeat-order references organized.
Plan a Distributor ProgramB2B Sanitary Ware Solutions
Choose a Supply Program Around How You Buy
The same Shower, Faucet or Bidet product creates different sourcing requirements for a distributor, product brand, project buyer and custom-development team.
Choose the commercial path according to what must remain standard, what must change and how the product will reach the market.

Buyer Solutions
Start with the commercial task, not only the product name
A supplier relationship looks different when the goal is resale assortment, brand development, project specification, private label or new-product development.
02
Brand & Product Team
Coordinate product platforms, visual language, finish direction and development depth for a branded portfolio.
Plan a Brand Program03
Project & Contract Supply
Define product specifications, samples, finish references, quantities and project-specific delivery requirements.
Discuss Project Supply04
Private Label
Use an established physical platform and review branding, instructions, finish and packaging requirements.
Review Private Label05
Custom Manufacturing
Use deeper development when the required physical product cannot be achieved through standard sourcing or branding alone.
Review Custom Manufacturing
FOR DISTRIBUTORS AND IMPORTERS
Build the range around products that can be clearly specified and reordered
Distributor sourcing is not only about the first purchase. Product references, finish direction, configurations and packaging should remain understandable when the range is reordered or expanded.
Core Assortment
Identify the main product platforms required for the target channel.
Configuration Control
Keep function, connection, finish and supplied components linked to each product reference.
Range Coordination
Review related Shower, Faucet and Bidet categories without creating unnecessary duplicate SKUs.
Repeat Supply
Use the previous approved product and packaging reference as the starting point for later orders.
FOR BRANDS AND PRODUCT TEAMS
Create a coherent product range before adding more individual models
A branded portfolio should connect physical product roles, visual design, finish direction, packaging and development depth instead of treating every model as an isolated project.
Product Architecture
Identify which physical platforms form the core of the range.
Visual Language
Coordinate face shapes, bodies, controls and visible component relationships.
Finish Direction
Review visible finish consistency across related categories.
Development Roadmap
Separate products that can use existing platforms from those requiring deeper OEM or ODM review.
FOR PROJECT AND CONTRACT BUYERS
Lock the physical specification before products are treated as a project package
Project supply should begin from the approved product, connection, installation condition, finish and quantity rather than an appearance-only mood board.
Product Specification
Confirm the exact category, physical platform and relevant configuration.
Installation Condition
Review concealed or exposed installation, connection position and other applicable site requirements.
Finish Reference
Keep the approved visible finish connected to the project specification.
Quantity and Schedule Requirement
Provide expected quantities and timing requirements for commercial review.
PRIVATE LABEL
Use Private Label when the existing physical product already fits the market
Private Label is most suitable when the product platform is already appropriate and the main work is product selection, visible finish, identification, instructions and packaging.
Existing Product Platform
Begin with a physically approved product rather than creating a new structure.
Brand Identification
Review the supported branding method and product-identification position.
Documentation
Define labels, instructions and destination-market information.
Packaging
Coordinate product protection and commercial presentation with the approved platform.
CUSTOM MANUFACTURING
Use deeper development when the existing platform cannot achieve the required product
Custom manufacturing should be reserved for requirements that involve meaningful changes to product structure, body geometry, components, controls or other physical relationships.
Development Requirement
Define what the existing platform cannot achieve.
Structural Review
Identify the body, face, mechanism or component relationship that must change.
Tooling Requirement
Review tooling only when the approved development direction requires it.
Manufacturing Transfer
Connect the approved physical product and revision to production and quality requirements.
Choose the Right Path
Use the starting product and required change to identify the right program
The final sourcing path should be confirmed after the physical product and requested changes are reviewed.

The same product category can follow different sourcing paths
A Shower System may be bought as a standard wholesale product, specified for a project or modified for a brand. The product category alone does not define the commercial program.

From Requirement to Supply Path
Define the buying model before the project enters product selection or development
A clear path keeps product, commercial and approval requirements connected.
- 01
Describe
Define what you sell, specify or want to develop.
- 02
Route
Identify Wholesale, Distributor, Brand, Project, Private Label or Custom Manufacturing.
- 03
Approve
Confirm the relevant physical product, configuration or development reference.
- 04
Validate
Align the applicable manufacturing, quality and packaging requirements.
- 05
Supply
Use the approved program reference for the current and later orders.
Approved Reference
Different buying models still need a clear physical product reference
Whether the project is Wholesale, Private Label or Custom Manufacturing, the approved product and configuration connect commercial requirements to production and quality review.
Product
Confirm the physical platform.
Configuration
Record the function, connection and supplied components.
Visual Reference
Confirm the relevant finish and visible product details.
Release Requirement
Keep the product connected to applicable quality and packaging requirements.
Repeat Supply
A repeat order should begin from the last approved program reference
Repeat supply becomes easier when the product, configuration, finish, packaging and current revision remain connected.
Product Reference
Confirm the approved physical platform.
Configuration Reference
Keep the same function and components unless a change is requested.
Finish Reference
Maintain the approved visible finish direction.
Packaging Reference
Confirm whether labels, instructions and packaging remain unchanged.
Revision Review
Review requested changes before the next order moves forward.
Commercial Paths
Wholesale, OEM and Project Supply solve different sourcing problems
Choose according to the physical starting point and work required, not a ranking.
Project Supply
A defined product specification must be coordinated across a project requirement.

FAQ
Buyer solution questions
Clarify Distributor, Private Label, OEM and Project Supply paths.
Which GlimmerSanitary solution should a distributor use?
A distributor normally begins with the Distributor and Wholesale paths, where the main task is defining the resale assortment, product configurations, packaging and repeat-order references. Deeper product changes may move an individual item into OEM or ODM.
What is the difference between Private Label and OEM?
Private Label normally starts from an established physical product and focuses on supported branding, documentation, finish and packaging. OEM is more appropriate when meaningful changes to the physical product or component configuration are required.
Which route is suitable for a hotel or development project?
Use the Project Supply path when products must be defined against an installation, finish, quantity and project requirement. The actual supply structure and schedule requirements must be reviewed for the project.
Can one buyer use more than one Solution path?
Yes. A distributor may source standard products through Wholesale while developing selected own-brand products through Private Label or OEM. Each physical product should still follow the commercial path that matches the work required.
