Distribution
Distributor
A company that could carry your line.
Example reason we'd write
They distribute foodservice equipment across the Southeast and don't carry an oven line. Your ovens would fill a gap in their catalog.
Who you'll meet
Distributors, suppliers, complementary brands, and private-label partners. Met at the booth during the show, or on a video call before it.
Four kinds of company worth planning a meeting around.
Examples are for an oven maker at a food show. Yours will be specific to your show and goals.

Supply
A company you buy from, or want to.
Example reason we'd write
They make the stainless components you currently import. Meeting at the show could shorten your lead times.
Adjacent
A product that sells alongside yours.
Example reason we'd write
Their dough sheeters sell to the same pizzerias you do. A bundle gives both of you a bigger sale.
Product
A maker you could pair with.
Example reason we'd write
They have a sauce line and no equipment partner. Your oven plus their sauce is a ready-made starter kit.
Meet before the show or during it.
Before the show
Start the relationship early.
Why it works
You arrive with the introduction already made, and the booth meeting becomes a second conversation.
On the floor
A confirmed time and booth number.
Why it works
Nobody hunts the hall. You know exactly where to be and who you're meeting.
