Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC has introduced the Premier Distributor Program, a new channel partner program that rewards distributors for meeting criteria established by the company. Twenty-two distributors have earned the highest ranking of platinum, placing them in the top 10 percent of the Bendix independent aftermarket distributor network, which covers the United States and Canada.
Distributor performance is evaluated in six key business performance areas. All distributors in the Bendix network earn scores that place them in one of four categories: bronze, silver, gold, or platinum. The Premier Distributor Program runs on an annual fiscal year, from April 1 through March 31. This year's platinum distributors are:
