Make your product development go faster and more efficient

We work with companies with mass production volumes of min. 10K pieces.

We represent factories with different structures and production volumes. Together with the customer we decide of the factories will be the best match.

We are an official European rep of these manufacturers and therefore have direct access to key people within the company. This is a massive advantage when it comes to communication.

Your orders are placed directly at the factory. We provide local admin, technical and logistic support.

Save costs by working with a Factory Rep

The difference between a rep and a distributor

Companies often don’t realize there is another option next to using a distributor. Channeling a rep such as SKY Factory Rep offers many perks that might fit your project better than a distributor’s services. What are the significant differences between a factory representative and a distributor?

A factory rep will have low costs and can work with an average commission of 5%
A distributor has a different set up and will work perfect for smaller companies ordering smaller volumes and may need local stock support. But a distributor needs an average of 20-30% to be profitable
A representative is part of the factory, making communication easier
A distributor offers a wider product portfolio, but because of this will not have the same relationship with all the factories
We work with only 4 factories, but they are all best in class in their field
A distributor will work with around 20 manufacturers to provide them with the full product range.

So, if you feel your project might need direct support, why not check out a rep service?

Your contact persons

Bart Dolsma - Main contact

I am Bart Dolsma and have a long history (since the mid 80s) in displays. Today I focus on developing long term relationships with selected European companies using custom LCD and TFT products.

How can this help you?

In the past 40 years, I was involved in hundreds of projects – from big to small – using every new display technology and in a wide variety of applications such as industrial, transport, medical and measurement applications.

I have seen the industry change over time. What I learned is that local customers prefer to work with local distributors, where big international companies move away from distributors. They prefer to work directly with manufacturers to save costs, but struggle with day to day communication.

This is what we offer to you

Together with our highly experienced team, I handle communication, provide technical support and manage logistics between the factory and customer’s production location.

In project meetings we contribute by offering product solutions, as well as helping select a production line that fits project volumes and planning.

The supply challenges caused by Covid-19 will continue into 2022 and probably even 2023. Our valuable business relationships have helped us keep supply stable and avoid production problems for our customers.
