You will need to be a reputable distributor of semiconductor components, heatsinks or power assemblies and have a good understanding of the electronics industry.  Whether you’re an established company or a reputable freelance agent working for various brands, we want to hear from you!

Once you’ve been approved as an agent you’ll receive GD Rectifiers’ marketing collateral so you can get started straight away. You’ll also have access to our sales team for technical support and advice, invites to quarterly meetings and online training.

Send an email to our marketing department with your company name, company registration number, a link to your website, the products you’re interested in stocking and the regions that you operate in.

If you’re a freelance agent, send us your full name, provide us with a list of companies you’re freelanced for and tell us about your areas of expertise.

Once you’ve sent an email to our marketing department, our team will be in touch within 5 working days to discuss the opportunity further.

Once your product and stock requirements have been finalised, an agreement will be put in place for both parties to review. We work with each agent on a one-to-one basis, catering our relationship to your needs.

Before launch we will provide product training on your stock package and send over marketing collateral for you to use to promote our products.

Becoming an agent can take a few weeks to get an account set up and sometimes a few months to get stock in place, depending on lead times. This process can be finalised much faster if we receive the information we need as quickly as possible.

Once we have everything we need from you, we’ll let you know when you can start selling.
