High-Quality Belts. Low Market Prices. Here’s How We Pull It Off.
Distributor of all kinds are stuck in the middle. Manufacturers keep raising prices. Customers keep pushing back. And you’re expected to somehow deliver premium products, rock-bottom prices, and healthy margins—all at once. Sound familiar?

Too often, “premium” products come with bloated price tags that eat into your profit before the first sale is even made. Rising costs, freight pressures, and competitive pricing all squeeze the middle, leaving you with thinner margins and tougher negotiations. Growing your business starts to feel like running uphill with weights on your ankles.
Efficiency that Works for You
Here’s the thing: what looks like a “bargain” on D&D belts isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about cutting waste. Over decades, we have fine-tuned every stage of production for all of our power drive belts—compounding, molding, finishing, and testing—inside our third-generation facilities. That relentless efficiency strips out the bloat that drives up prices elsewhere. The result is Tier-1 belt performance without Tier-1 price inflation, giving distributors more breathing room to compete and profit.
We also own our process from end to end. From raw rubber sourcing to finished packaging, it all happens under our roof. No layers of middlemen. No surprise markups. That type of integration gives us total control over quality, cost, and timelines—so you can offer competitive prices without sacrificing your margins or scrambling for supply.
And those margins? They’re real. Many of our distributor partners consistently achieve 25%–40% gross margins in a space where that’s becoming increasingly rare. When they go head-to-head with big brands carrying inflated price tags, we’ve seen them land margins of 50% or more—all while offering customers a lower price. Independent third-party testing backs it up: D&D v-belts and timing belts hold tension, resist elongation, and last as long—or longer—than the “premium” names.
For online sellers, our Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policy helps protect those hard-earned margins from race-to-the-bottom pricing. We want our power drive belt distributors to win—not fight each other for pennies.
Distributors don’t just need another power drive belt supplier—they need a partner who understands the pressure of staying profitable. Whether you're a distributor of belts for the automotive, HVAC, lawn and garden, or oil and gas markets, D&D Global power belts offer you an advantage when it comes to higher margins.
By combining world-class engineering with vertical integration and relentless efficiency, D&D gives you the pricing power, product performance, and profit potential you’ve been looking for.
