Independent manufacturers' representative · Division 08 & 10
We are the bridge between your factory and the US openings channel: independent rep agencies, Division 8 distributors and the architects who write the specs. One line per category, and more than 10 years in the industry.
The bridge
In the US, doors and hardware are sold through a chain of local relationships. We plan your entry, build that chain and keep it working, so you can sell in the US without opening an office there.
Europe, Asia or Latin America. A strong product and no US presence yet.
US plan, pricing, standards guidance and channel management.
Independent rep agencies and Division 8 distributors, state by state.
Specifications, submittals and orders on commercial projects.
Why DLT
Our founder led US sales for WKS Door Systems as VP of US Sales, selling into commercial and hospitality projects through distributors and independent rep agencies.
We never represent two lines that compete. Your line gets our full attention, and the channel hears one clear message.
Based in Hermosillo, a few hours from Arizona, with regular travel across the US and DHI events. We work in English and Spanish.
How it works
Product, pricing and standards, reviewed against the US market.
Positioning, target segments, US price list and terms, samples and literature.
Introductions to rep agencies and distributors, territory by territory.
Architects, submittals, quotes and follow-up until the order.
Trade shows such as DHI conNextions, reporting and new territories.
Represented today
We take one manufacturer per category. Today that is WKS Door Systems, in architectural wood doors and frames.
Architectural wood doors and wood frames for hotel, hospital, office and residential projects, including fire-rated and acoustic doors and special products.
Because we represent WKS, we are not taking on other wood door or wood frame manufacturers.
