For generations, EMDA members have served as the vital link between manufacturers and North American retail dealers.
EMDA’s member reps and distributors are located throughout the United States and Canada. They perform such value-added services as warehousing, in-field sales representation, advertising and promotion, product education, service requirements, warranty representation, physical handling and credit and collections.
