| A person or company that manufacturers the goods. The manufacturer is the brand owner and is the only one besides the producer who can create the brand on MTMfair. |
| Producers create goods and services so technically they can also "make" something. For our purposes we define producers as a person or company who do not manufacture a product physically, but rather outsource the production to a manufacturer. The product is however sold under the producer's brand name (not the manufacturer's). The producer is the brand owner and is the only one besides the manufacturer who can create the brand on MTMfair. |
| An independent person or company, which acts on behalf of a manufacturer, producer or distributor. In international transactions, this term normally refers to a sales representative who prospects on behalf of a foreign company, earning a commission on sales concluded between the seller and the buyer. |
