LIGHTING DISTRIBUTION PARTNER AND HIS PROFESSIONAL INSIGHTS: PART I
“I would say the most challenging part in dealing with a customer’s new design is not only partnering them with a manufacturer that gets and understands what their design intent is, but also can deliver on those timeframes and deadlines that are essential in completing a new project.”
My company works directly with influential distribution companies around the world to properly manage the new design process, new store rollout process and the retrofit opportunities for retail stores, restaurants and other commercial spaces. In the lighting sector, one of my distribution partners include Judah Regenstreif, President of the national account distributor Regency Lighting. Judah’s company is one of the premier distribution companies, servicing high-end retail accounts on a national and international level.
“Some of the things we look for in selecting a new manufacturing partner is how long have they been in our industry, do they understand the clients we are selling to, what are the quality procedures and controls they have on the products they are manufacturing and producing, how quickly can they get those products to market and can we depend on them when they give us their commitments,” explains Judah.
Having worked directly with hundreds of manufacturing companies, Judah understands the challenges of bringing a retail space to life —on time and within budget. “I would say the most challenging part in dealing with a customer’s new design is not only partnering them with a manufacturer that gets and understands what their design intent is, but also can deliver on those timeframes and deadlines that are essential in completing a new project.", says Judah.
It’s essential for my company to work with partners like Judah who not only understand the customer’s desires and needs and our industry trends, but also someone that has proper quality controls in place. Working with these world-class partners allows for world-class results.
