Regional players

• Fisheries Supply: Pacific Northwest marine distributor serving commercial and recreational marine customers with parts, electronics, and accessories. Comparable in multi-brand marine parts distribution to OEM and dealer customers, though with a regional U.S. footprint rather than international export.
• Jamestown Distributors: U.S. marine distributor serving boatbuilders, marine trade, and DIY customers with parts, supplies, and boatbuilding materials. Comparable to Brunger Export in serving boat-builder (OEM) customers with multi-category marine products, though focused on the domestic market.
• Overton's: Marine and RV accessories retailer/distributor serving U.S. customers. Comparable to Brunger Export's marine/RV dual-category focus and multi-brand accessory portfolio, but operates a domestic retail model rather than international factory-direct export representation.
• Defender Industries: Long-established U.S. marine retailer and distributor of marine equipment, parts, and watersports gear. Comparable to Brunger Export in handling multi-brand marine products across categories, but predominantly serves North American buyers rather than international export markets.

Direct peers

• Boat Outfitters: Marine accessories retailer/distributor carrying multiple brands across categories similar to Brunger's represented manufacturers (trolling motors, lighting, hardware, rigging).

• West Marine: Largest U.S. marine retailer and broad-line distributor of marine parts, accessories, and watersports gear. Comparable to Brunger Export as a broad incumbent with a deep multi-brand marine portfolio, though its model is retail/wholesale to U.S. boaters rather than export representation for U.S. manufacturers.
• Land 'N' Sea: One of the largest U.S. wholesale distributors of marine parts, accessories, and OEM products.
