Distributors in Poland

 
A distributor in Poland represents an intermediary between the producer of a good and another business organization within the supply chain or distribution channel, like a value-added reseller, a retailer or a system integrator. 
 
Selling different types of goods through a distribution agreement in Poland may present multiple advantages, for both parties involved. Some of these advantages consist of:
 
the distributor always finds methods of distributing and selling the entire product stock;
a distribution agreement creates certain advantages for the supplier, such as not being required to be established in Poland, therefore minimizing the costs involved in setting up a local business
the risks involving the transaction will be suffered by the distributor, since the supplier cannot be responsible for any responsibility connected to the goods. Our Polish law firm can offer more details on this aspect.
 

Types of distribution agreements in Poland

 

The distribution agreements in Poland can be effectuated under various forms, among which we mention:
 
exclusive distribution agreement: in this case, only the distributor, and not the manufacturer, is allowed to sell the products;
non-exclusive: the manufacturer has the right to enable more than one distributor to see the goods on its behalf. Our attorneys in Poland can offer more information on this matter;
sole distribution agreement: in this type of distribution agreement in Poland, only the manufacturer and the distributor are allowed to sell the products on a certain territory or customer category.
