The Exact Models We Run for B2B Partners
The scenarios below show the type of partnership and outcomes Hitze is built to deliver — the private-label, wholesale and project-supply models we run every day. We publish named client details only with written permission, so we lead with what we can show openly: the real operation behind every program.
The supply side is fully documented — product, factory and certificate photography is published site-wide, and any named client details appear only with written permission while other partners stay anonymized. Tell us your market and target standards and we’ll walk you through a live program on a call.
Where Hitze Ships
From Our Stock to Your Program — and Onto Site
Every scenario below runs on the same real infrastructure: our own warehouse and staging, our brand’s cartons and coils, and the job sites where partners install them. These are real photos of the supply side; project shots are anonymized to protect partner confidentiality.
Real Partners, Real Visits

Choose Your Scenario
Three Ways Partners Build With Hitze
Every partnership starts with a different goal. Whether you’re launching your own brand, stocking a distribution program, or specifying pipe for a heating project, there’s a proven path. Choose the scenario closest to yours.
Private-Label · ODMPrivate-Label Launch — Your Brand, German-Engineered Systems
For importers and private-label brands who want their own line of piping systems without building a factory. Under Hitze’s ODM model, we produce cUPC / NSF-61 certified PEX, PEX-AL-PEX and fittings under your brand, on your packaging — with no MOQ, so you can start with samples or a small trial order.
| Partner type | Private-label brand / importer |
|---|---|
| Region | North America / EU |
| Products | PEX, PEX-AL-PEX, fittings |
| How it starts | No MOQ — samples or a small trial order |
Wholesale · DistributionWholesale Supply Program — One Brand, the Full Portfolio
For wholesalers and distributors building a stocking program. Source pipe and fittings from a single German brand so every system matches — PEX-AL-PEX, PP-R, press, push-fit, compression and brass fittings, plus underfloor heating manifolds — with consistent tolerances and the same certifications across SKUs.
| Partner type | Wholesaler / distributor |
|---|---|
| Region | North America / EU |
| Products | Full 8-line portfolio |
| How it starts | No MOQ — build the range from a trial order up |
Radiant · HydronicRadiant Heating Project — Hydronic Loops That Last
For MEP consultants and heating contractors specifying hydronic underfloor heating. Hitze PE-RT and PEX-AL-PEX carry a DIN 4726 oxygen-barrier (EVOH) layer that blocks O₂ diffusion — protecting boilers and steel manifolds from corrosion over the life of the loop.
| Partner type | MEP consultant / contractor |
|---|---|
| Region | North America / EU |
| Products | PE-RT pipe + manifolds |
| Backed by | 50-year warranty on the matched Hitze system |
The Operating Model
What a Hitze Partnership Looks Like
Behind every case study is the same operating model. Here’s what working with a German brand under an ODM structure means in practice — before you ever sign an order.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Scope & spec | We map your target market’s standards — cUPC/NSF-61 for the US & Canada, WRAS for the UK, DVGW for Germany, CE + DoP for the EU — and match the right pipe and fitting lines to the job. |
| 2. Samples first | There is no MOQ — start with samples or a small trial order to validate quality, tolerances and packaging before committing to a full production run. |
| 3. Certified production | Products are manufactured to EN ISO 21003 (multilayer), 15874 (PP-R) and 15875 (PEX), plus ASTM F876/F877 where required — under your brand if you’re going private label. |
| 4. Full-system supply | Pipe and fittings ship from one brand, so jaw profiles (TH/U/F/M) and dimensions match across your program — no mixed-brand compatibility risk. |
| 5. Ongoing partnership | Lead times, FOB terms and documentation are confirmed per program, and the matched Hitze pipe-and-fitting system is backed by a 50-year warranty. Send us your scope and we reply within one business day. |
Trade-only: Hitze supplies B2B partners — wholesalers, contractors, private-label brands, distributors, MEP consultants and sourcing agents. We do not sell to end consumers.
