Sell surplus stock as a manufacturer or brand owner

Production volumes and market allocations are often set before final demand is fully known. If sales forecasts, customer purchases or product range decisions subsequently change, branded stock may fall outside current commercial plans.

This may occur because of overproduction, a model change, a packaging change, a cancelled project or the discontinuation of a product line. The products may still be new, complete and fully saleable; they simply no longer fit the original plan or distribution route.

For branded stock, both the products available and their commercial context matter. Tell us early if the stock is connected to existing dealer arrangements, regional market allocations, a product launch or the positioning of current product lines.

A general wish to protect the brand or distribution network is not sufficiently clear. Stock & Trade must be able to establish which products and markets are concerned and what specific effect should be prevented during onward sale.

We can then discuss whether workable arrangements are required for destination markets, sales channels, timing or product presentation. Only conditions specifically agreed in advance become part of the purchase.

Stock & Trade buys the agreed branded stock directly from the manufacturer, brand owner or authorised sales organisation. The defined stock may include several models, specifications, product generations or packaging versions, provided the goods and quantities included are clear.

Following the agreed transfer, Stock & Trade assumes responsibility for further commercial handling and the resale risk. Sales take place within the brand, market and channel arrangements specifically recorded in advance.
