Pigs Unlimited, Inc. seeks very aggressive distributors to promote our products, rather than companies that wait for an inquiry to come across their desks. In order to achieve this, we offer excellent resale discounts, expedient shipping, superb quality and a knowledgeable staff to assist you with all technical aspects in order to be the successful bidder against the competition.

However, we do not offer exclusive territorial agreements without substantial and confirmed sales evidence that justify such a request. We have found over the years that exclusivity does not promote aggressive sales techniques. This is not to say that we do not protect our distributor’s efforts in selling our brand of pigs and pigging-related products. We feel it necessary for our distributors to establish and maintain an open line of communication with us, so that we may better assist them in making sure they secure the order.

Pigs Unlimited, Inc. does not solicit business from end users on a direct basis internationally. We know and appreciate the power and the need for local distributors. If we receive an inquiry from an "end user" in an established distributor’s territory, we forward the inquiry directly to our distributor, along with our quotation for the requested products to be forward to the end user. However, it must be understood that in this day and age with email and internet capabilities, more and more companies are able to find many sources for which to have quotes offered on their inquiries, rather than only contacting local suppliers. Therefore, if an inquiry is released for bid from an end user in the Middle East, it may be sent to manufacturers and distributors in Europe, the Far East and to the United States as well -- some of which may be our distributors. We are obligated to quote these other distributors and extend to them their standard discounts for resale. This is where communication from our distributors is vital.

If our distributor has communicated to us that they are working on an inquiry in their geographic area, when it has been released for bids, we will be on alert for such an inquiry being sent to us from other areas of the world. In the example mentioned above, we try to take steps to further protect our local distributor by possibly offering larger discounts so that they have the competitive edge. It must be understood however that this may not always be possible. As stated, we offer an excellent discount structure that cannot be matched by other manufacturers, not to mention our list pricing that is below our competition, so as to give our distributors every chance of success.

We understand this approach is not one common to other manufacturers, but it works. We would be happy to supply anyone a list of referrals that they may speak with to verify our business ethics. One of the reasons we have been so successful is because we are not like other manufacturers. We want you to be successful. If you are successful, then we as a team are successful. We are open to discuss any concerns you may have regarding a distributorship and you will find we are very understanding and can be very accommodating to your viewpoint and your individual circumstances.

As for promotional products, including brochures, flyers, etc., Pigs Unlimited, Inc. offers these at no charge. Visits by Pigs Unlimited, Inc.’s staff to foreign areas for sales efforts, training or other reasons are charged at a daily rate with full room and board, meals, expenses and airfare.

Thank you again for your interest in Pigs Unlimited, Inc. and we hope you will join our successful team of distributors. We look forward to working with you in building and maintaining a long and prosperous relationship between our companies.
