Dr. Dish Basketball Expands Distribution Network Throughout Europe

One of the key factors in Dr. Dish's success outside of the U.S. has been its distribution network.  Dr. Dish Basketball has been providing shooting machines to Europe since its inception, but in 2020, the company took a big step forward by opening a local distribution warehouse on the Continent.

As the only  FIBA endorsed shooting machine, Dr. Dish has built relationships with some of the leading suppliers of sports equipment in the industry.  Thanks to these relationships, Dr. Dish has been able to expand its reach and works with close to 30 companies that service over 40 countries in Europe as well as parts of Africa and The Middle East to help improve the game of basketball players and coaches across the globe.

Take a closer look as we highlight  just four of those leading suppliers Dr. Dish has partnered with to grow the sport throughout Europe.
