What is an "Independent Distributor", and what service do they provide?
The Independent Distributor is in business to assist the buyer in sourcing. Products may be discontinued, allocated, have long lead times, or simply be unavailable. With an extensive database of available parts and worldwide sources, the Independent Distributor has established and organized their business on being ready and able to support your sourcing efforts at a moment's notice. Independent distributors, like Kreisler, help buyers to take that extra step in finding the parts or technical publications that they need.

How does Kreisler Import differ from a "Franchised Distributor?"
Kreisler's business is to stand ready and able to support your sourcing efforts at a moment's notice. This means not only checking our own inventory but the stock of suppliers all over the world! A franchised distributor sources only within their own "stock" availability, leaving you out of luck if the parts you need are not available or the lead times are unacceptable. In addition, franchised pricing is based on factory pricing, using Kreisler Import avails you, in many cases, to the advantages of significant cost savings from world-wide supply channels.

Should I use Kreisler Import instead of a franchised distributor?
Calling Kreisler Import very often means the difference between meeting production schedules or having a line down. In many cases, in times of market excess, we can supply many components at a significantly lower cost. Most of our customers use Kreisler as a supplement to franchised distribution. Not happy with availability, pricing or lead times? Call Kreisler and allow us to source on your behalf.

What are the advantages of using Kreisler Import?
Kreisler provides a value added service not available from your franchised distributor. With just one fax or phone call to Kreisler, you initiate a worldwide search for the component or standard/technical publication you need. This saves you valuable time and effort by letting us do the work for you.
We can also be of service in a Vendor Reduction Program. Instead of sending your needs to multiple vendors you can have us take care of them. In addition, Kreisler provides automatic tracking services for national and international standards to keep your collections up-to-date.

Once I place a request with Kreisler am I obligated to buy?
Absolutely not. Kreisler understands the competitive nature of the market. It is not a guarantee or commitment to buy. With Kreisler, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by asking for help.

What about cost?
In today's electronics economy, pricing is very much a function of supply and demand. Kreisler's ability to source a "supply" can mean a better price for you. When requesting a quote, providing a "target price" - that is, how much you wish to pay for a component- may prove positive. This enables Kreisler to stay within your budgetary constraints when sourcing, and avoid sky-high pricing some sources think they can charge.
