In today’s competitive construction, industrial, safety, and retail markets, manufacturers face constant pressure to increase sales and expand market share—often with limited internal resources. That’s where manufacturers’ representatives come in. Partnering with an experienced agency like Harvey Gerstman Associates (HGA) can provide a powerful advantage, combining deep market insight with strong relationships that help brands grow faster and smarter.
1. Local Expertise and Industry Relationships
Manufacturers’ representatives know their territories inside and out. HGA has spent decades developing strong connections with distributors, retailers, and end users across the Eastern United States. These relationships help new products gain faster market access and ensure established lines stay top of mind with key decision-makers.
2. Cost-Effective Market Coverage
Instead of building an internal sales team from the ground up, partnering with a rep agency allows manufacturers to reach multiple regions through one experienced team. This lowers overhead costs while maintaining consistent communication and service across the territory.
3. Proven Sales Support
At HGA, our representatives act as a true extension of the manufacturer’s sales force. We conduct end-user calls, distributor visits, and product demonstrations that translate into measurable sales growth. We also provide feedback from the field, helping our partners adapt to changing market conditions.
4. Strategic Growth and Long-Term Partnerships
Because we represent multiple complementary product lines, we can identify cross-selling opportunities and introduce products to distributors who are already familiar with our agency. The result is a trusted, efficient sales process that benefits both manufacturers and customers.
In Summary
Working with an experienced manufacturers’ representative like HGA allows brands to expand reach, reduce costs, and build lasting distributor relationships. For over 45 years, we’ve helped our partners increase sales and strengthen their presence across construction, industrial, safety, and retail markets — one relationship at a time.
