The Value of Slide’s Solid Distributor Network

Slide Product's Distributor Network

Since Slide Products’ inception, we’ve been committed to a focused distribution model, and it has grown to a network of 200 partners through the years. The benefits and support offered to Slide’s customers through this partnership are unsurpassed in the industry:

  • Working with a single, local distributor source usually means faster, and often less expensive shipping of Slide’s quality products.
  • In conjunction with Slide’s industry experts, our distributors are always available to get “boots on the ground”, assisting with troubleshooting, training or consultation directly at customer locations. This methodology becomes a double-value approach to customer satisfaction that cannot be attained by simply referencing a catalog.
  • Local stocking distributors have the capability to quickly fulfill and consolidate POS or orders from a single vendor. Additionally, credit terms can be provided along with most orders shipping within one to two days.
  • Our distributors are always available to offer relevant information about Slide’s products, including price, availability and quality. Team members will gladly assist in selecting/purchasing the best formulation for your application. If you are not already connected with a local Slide distributor, we encourage you to make a choice from our website or contact Betsi Burns, Sales Manager.
