How Red Dot Partners with OEM Manufacturers and Distributors
Red Dot supports two types of partners: OE manufacturers who need custom-engineered climate systems built to their specifications, and distribution partners who rely on our depth of inventory, technical expertise and global reach to keep their customers equipped and competitive. Our partners are central to how we operate.
