For buyers who want to speak directly with a reference, SLEKA can arrange reference calls with buyers in comparable markets — subject to buyer consent.

Importer / DistributorNorth Africa

Switching Pump Suppliers Without Losing Market Share

Situation

A pump importer in North Africa was supplying a European pump brand. The margin had compressed over four years. The buyer needed a stainless-steel pump at a lower landed cost without losing their dealer network's confidence in quality.

How They Bought

  • Requested SLEKA performance curves and technical data for SK models closest to the current European range
  • Compared SLEKA SK5 and SK9 specifications with the current models
  • Started with a 10-pump branded pilot (buyer's own brand, not SLEKA brand)
  • Verified pump performance against the test certificates supplied with each pilot pump
  • Presented the product to three existing dealers — received positive initial feedback
  • Moved to a regular supply arrangement for 200 pumps in the first quarter

Outcome

The buyer replaced the European pump line with SLEKA SK pumps across their dealer network. Margin recovered. Product quality was maintained. Dealer confidence was sustained through in-market testing before full market launch.
