GINO is one of the largest burner manufacturers in the world with a 14% market share. It is considering an OEM proposal from Feima that could disrupt its relationship with its main Chinese distributor, Jinghua, which accounts for 40% of GINO's revenue in China. GINO aims to grow annual unit sales by 20% and industrial sales by 200 units by improving service standards and developing new distribution channels. It must choose whether to accept Feima as a customer through Jinghua, develop Feima as an OEM and risk upsetting Jinghua, or reject Feima and lose potential sales.
