Partnering with Mi-Net – Connecting suppliers with customers across the UK and Ireland.
Since 1986, we’ve been connecting manufacturers of advanced scientific products and services with customers across the UK and Ireland. Over nearly four decades, we’ve learned that successful distribution partnerships are built on more than just logistics, they require genuine market knowledge, established relationships, and a commitment to representing brands with care and expertise.
Industry Knowledge That Makes a Difference
Our background in physics and decades of experience mean we understand both your products and the customers who need them. Whether your core disciplines are in engineering, natural sciences, medical, or quality control, we can speak knowledgeably about applications and help customers identify the right solutions.
This expertise is valuable because we don’t simply process orders. When customers contact us with specific measurement challenges or application requirements, we can provide informed guidance. Our consultative approach means that when we recommend a product, it carries credibility, and that benefits every supplier we represent.
Established Relationships Across Research and Industry
The UK and Ireland have world leading communities in research, industry, and education, but building relationships in these sectors takes time. We’ve spent decades developing connections with universities, research institutes, and industrial laboratories, many of which have worked with us for years.
When we take on a new supplier, these relationships open doors. Customers already trust our recommendations and know we focus on quality and reliability. Your products benefit from the reputation we’ve built, making market entry considerably smoother than starting from scratch.
A Personal, Long-Term Approach
As a family-owned business we’ve maintained a personal approach even as we’ve grown. Our suppliers work with experienced team members who understand the value of building partnerships that last.
We’re thorough in how we work. Before representing a new product line, we invest time in understanding the technology, the applications, and what sets your products apart. We ask detailed questions and take advantage of training opportunities to ensure we can represent your brand effectively. This attention to detail means your products are presented accurately and professionally to potential customers.
Practical Support That Adds Value
Scientific products often represent substantial investments, so customers want to see results before purchasing. We understand this and where necessary we support our suppliers to offer sample processing or sample development services, allowing potential customers to evaluate your product in action. For select products, we also provide paid laboratory services, creating additional opportunities to demonstrate capabilities and generate revenue.
Operating from our Nottingham headquarters, we provide strong coverage across the UK and Ireland. While these are our core markets, many of our products also reach international customers through our established networks.
Built on Quality and Mutual Success
We’re selective about the suppliers we work with, focusing on quality products from manufacturers who are committed to excellent support. This approach serves both our customers and our suppliers—we build our reputation on reliability, and our suppliers benefit from being associated with that standard.
Our suppliers tell us they value working with a distributor who genuinely understands their technology and has the market knowledge to position it effectively. With almost 40 years of experience, established customer relationships, and a commitment to long-term partnerships, we offer suppliers a proven route to the UK and Irish markets built on expertise and trust.
