As a distributor, you can choose what you sell, but you don’t control how it’s built, how consistent it is, or how it behaves when something goes wrong. You’re tied to other people’s factories, schedules, and quality standards.  Sound familiar? As a cryogenic equipment distributor, Rutherford & Titan experienced all these limits firsthand. When their customers were calling on them for support even after product installations, they knew they had to take their operations to the next level and have more control of the whole process. Read the new case study that explains how and why they went from reseller to manufacturer.
