Distributors, wholesalers, dealers and installers will be able to bundle key products which are essential to provide comfort on board of yachts, commercial craft and vehicles and can obtain these from a single source in their territory.
“Webasto is very pleased to have entered into a Global Distribution Agreement with WhisperPower and in doing so we are proud to be able to represent, alongside our own products, complementary products offering a high level of innovation and customer benefit.”, says Fabian Bez, globally responsible for the business unit Thermo & Comfort at Webasto. “The product synergy is perfect giving us the ability to provide the electrical power needed to operate many of our own products. In return, we offer WhisperPower unrivalled access to a fully functioning skilled network with additional business opportunities. We are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial collaboration with WhisperPower and to bringing this benefit to the customers of both companies”.
Roel ter Heide, founder and CEO of WhisperPower, calls the deal a big step forward for his still young company. “This Global Distribution Frame Agreement with Webasto Thermo & Comfort is an important step forward for WhisperPower.
