Who holds the registration in New Zealand
Who holds the registration varies by market and often sits with the local importer. Check the national rule before signing a distributor; the Next 10 Markets report covers it for your target markets.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later; the Next 10 Markets report covers it per market.
Top 0 independent distributors
Independent distributors only: a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler, authorised representative), no manufacturing of their own and no sign of being a manufacturer's own sales company. Ranked by the other manufacturers' lines they carry, then registrations held, then size (a 0 to 100 score). Complete is 0 to 5 for website, address, segments, principals and counts.
No independent distributor is registered here yet; every establishment on record is a manufacturer or a manufacturer's own sales entity.
Include manufacturers, their own sales entities and regulatory representatives (53)
Manufacturers, companies that are a manufacturer's own import or sales arm, and regulatory representatives (authorised representatives, sponsors or registration holders with no import or distribution role). They are registered here but are not independent distributors.
