authorized dealers

Approved retail partners

Authorized dealers are retailers or distributors officially approved by a manufacturer to sell their products.

The authorization typically comes with benefits—access to inventory, warranty support, training—and obligations like pricing guidelines or service standards.

Manufacturers list authorized dealers to help customers avoid counterfeit goods or gray market imports: Buy only from authorized dealers to ensure your warranty is valid.
