• A BURNER MANUFACTURING COMPANY GINO SA• Manufactures 50 different types of burners.• Best known for domestic burners.• It wants to expand its market in China• The major consumer of China wants GINO to make it an OEM and in
return it will purchase 50% of its burner requirements from GINO.• The major distributor of GINO, Jinhua, is very unsatisfied with this
demand.

![Page 14: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SEARCH FOR NEW MARKETS
In recent years, however, the traditional markets (applications such as domestic and commercial heating and sanitary water) had become saturated.
In emerging markets such as Asia, the Middle East and parts of Africa, however, the market was growing rapidly.
There was a rising demand for all ranges of burners, especially the domestic and commercial products.

![Page 22: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
THE BURNER MARKET IN CHINA
![Page 23: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Before 1990
China rich in coal resources and heavily dependent on coal as its major source of energy.
Boilers used in this period were mostly coal-combustion boilers, which had no need for burners.
![Page 24: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1990-1995
Chinese Government put more emphasis on pollution control.
Coal combustion boilers began to be replaced by oil-combustion boilers.
Some of the world’s major burner manufacturers began to enter the Chinese market .
![Page 25: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1995-1998
Several New Applications of burners emerged-
Absorption Chillers
Car Painting Booths
Ovens
Furnaces
![Page 26: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Position of Gino in the Chinese MarketGino in the Chinese Market
![Page 27: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Gino became the price leader in domestic range market.
Its market share surged to nearly 14% from less than 1%
Growth in commercial range was impressive As well.
![Page 28: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Weishaupt dominated the market
Performance in Industrial Range disappointing
It claimed a market share of Less than 3%
![Page 29: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Movement of Burners through channels to end users
![Page 30: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Heavy Reliance on Distributors
• True for most burner manufacturers
![Page 32: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Distributors are verysensitive to any signal of a manufacturer’s moving to sell directto OEM customers.
![Page 33: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ISSUES IN DIRECT SELLING TO OEM CUSTOMERS
• Providing service and spare parts.
• Pricing issues
![Page 34: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Much tougher screening process in buying was adopted by OEM customers compared to end users
![Page 35: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
FACTORS THAT INFLUNCE BUYING OF BURNERS
![Page 36: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• In burners of large output capacity price is less important.• Brand Image and reputation play a more significant role.• The reverse is true for burners of low output capacity
![Page 37: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• In commercial range, greater attention to technical compatibility and reliability is paid than to price.
• Supply of spares, price and after-sales service were also considered important.
![Page 38: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
•For industrial burners, reliability (as indicated by reputation and service) was more important than price.
•Availibility of stock was another important consideration in this segment.
•Design institutes played important roles.
![Page 39: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Gino’s Distribution network in China
![Page 40: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
3 Distributors in China
Wayip Trading Co.- (Guangzhou)
FUNG’s Co.-( Shanghai)
Jinghua Mechanical Engineering Company –(Beijing)
![Page 41: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Background of
the Distributors
![Page 42: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
JINGHUA
• Besides handling Gino’s burner business, Jinghua also made and sold boilers.
• Although the profit margin on boilers was far less than that on burners, both products produced about the same revenue.
![Page 43: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
FUNG
• The main product line of FUNG’s was still textile machinery, which accounted for over 90% of annual turnover.
• The company placed great emphasis on burners, however, because the textile industry was widely regarded as a ‘sunset industry’.
![Page 44: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
WAYIP
• Wayip was the only company whose business was 100% Gino burners.• However, it had been looking for other HVAC products for a long time.
![Page 45: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Each of the distributors was assigned exclusive rights to some provinces and signed a contract with Gino stating that selling burners in other distributor’s territory was prohibited.
![Page 46: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
![Page 47: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
DISTRIBUTORS’ FUNCTIONS
![Page 48: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
1) CREDIT FUNCTION
• Once an order was placed, Gino opened a pro-forma invoice to confirm it.
• The Distributor then opened a letter of credit (L/C) through its bank (the opening bank) to Gino’s bank( the negotiation bank).
• The purpose of the L/C was to eliminate the credit risk for the manufacture, because payment was made by the distributor’s bank as soon as the goods were shipped.
![Page 49: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
STOCK FUNCTION
• The distributors were ordered to make a 3 months order forecast to Gino.
• Final actual order amount was supposed to vary by no more than 10% of the forecast.
![Page 50: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• The typical order cycle time was 40 to 45 days for domestic and commercial burners and 60 days for industrial burners.
• Once the burners arrived in China, distributors made the arrangements for local transportation and warehouse stock.
• The distributors needed to anticipate the volume of backlog and the time of delivery carefully, in order to avoid either stock-outs or over-stocking.
![Page 51: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

DISTRIBUTOR BEHAVIOUR
RECENT PROBLEMS
![Page 63: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
DEMAND FOR BETTER TERMS
Distributors began to bargain more and more fiercely for better prices and lower quotas.
![Page 64: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
STOLEN SALES
![Page 65: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
• There were more complaints from distributors that other Gino distributers were “poaching” sales from them
• The price discounts in these cases were usually much higher than the agreed maximum level of 25%.
![Page 66: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
RELUCTANCE TO STOCK INDUSTRIAL BURNERS
• Due to high cost of industrial burners and the difficulty in forecasting demand accurately.
• Zhou estimated that sales of at least 50 units were lost every year.
![Page 67: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
CURRENT PROBLEM
![Page 68: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
FEIMA- A leading boiler factory in Northern China
![Page 69: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
• The company made over 1200 sets of 1,200 sets of boilers in various sizes in 1999.
• In 1999, Feima bought from Jinghua 350 sets of domestic burners, 50 sets of commercial burners and 3 sets of industrial burners.
• The rest were purchased from Gino’s competitors, such as Weishaupt (its main supplier) and Baltur.
![Page 70: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
FEIMA’S PROPOSAL
• FEIMA approached Gino and asked to make it an OEM.• The aim was better prices- It wanted at least 10% greater discount
than from Jinghua.• In return, it promised to purchase at least 50% of its commercial and
industrial burners and all its domestic burners from Gino.
![Page 71: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Zhou liked the idea because-
![Page 72: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
BUT….
![Page 73: GINO SA: DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cd31c7bb61eb2d688b46a9/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Jinghua was adamantly opposed for 2 reasons• It strongly believed that Gino should not develop distributors’ Existing customers as OEM accounts.• The practice would set a very bad example, which could destroy their

CONCLUSIONS
• So, If Gino makes Fiema an OEM, turnover may increase by an amount which is 6% of the present turnover.
• But Ginghua is highly unsatisfied with this decision.• Ginghua accounts for 40% for the revenue of GINO in the China
region.

Certainly, there is scope of profit in the bargain, but, there is also a risk of a much greater loss. Hence, it is advisable not to indulge in this deal.
TAKE AWAY FROM THE CASE
