Where Hitze Ships
From Our Stock to Your Program — and Onto Site
Every case study 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. Real photos show the supply side; captioned frames mark the anonymized project shots we add as authorized cases go live.

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 · ODM
Private-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 a low sample-friendly MOQ.

| Region | North America / EU (illustrative) |
| Products | PEX, PEX-AL-PEX, fittings (illustrative) |
| Outcome | Coming soon |
Wholesale · Distribution
Wholesale 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.

| Region | North America / EU (illustrative) |
| Products | Full 8-line portfolio (illustrative) |

Radiant · Hydronic
Radiant 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.

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 | Low, sample-friendly MOQ means you validate quality, tolerances and packaging before committing to a full production run. (Specific MOQ figure — coming soon.) |
| 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. (Lead time & pricing — coming soon.) |
Trade-only: Hitze supplies B2B partners — wholesalers, contractors, private-label brands, distributors, MEP consultants and sourcing agents. We do not sell to end consumers.
