German term

Streckenware

German to English Bus/Financial Retail
This term appears in a document I am translating for a German supermarket chain.
The document states that 'Streckenware' are the property of the supermarket. It contrasts this with 'Importware' which remain the property of their supplier until they are sold.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Proposed translations (English)
3 local products
3 -1 wholesale products

seehand Aug 20, 2009:
von Gunston & Corner's German- English Glossary of Financial and Economic Terms - Streckengeschäft = transaction where wholesaler buys from A and sells to B without himself storing the goods; direct-to-purchaser sale bzw. Streckenhandel = direct-to-purchaser trading, so vielleicht direct-to-purchaser goods??? Mal sehen, was die anderen sagen

Declined
Because of the contrast with "Importware" I think this may be meant.

"regional products" could also be an alternative. Strecke = region

disagree Michael Sieger : M.E. das genaue Gegenteil, es wird eben *nicht* über den Grosshandel geliefert

dann wäre es eben die "direkt" importierte Ware

Streckengeschäft?

Could this be related to "Streckengeschäft", which is a transport/logistics term? See http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/transport_transp...

neutral Alexander Schleber (X) : Streckegngeschäft is usually translated as "forward transactions" or "drop shipment".

I know but 'Streckenware' might be 'shorthand' for 'Ware, die im Streckengeschäft befördert wurde'.

Reference:

Streckenware

This cropped up in http://deu.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_italian/marketing_market...
- although it's a DE-IT question, it usefully defines Streckenware as "Bestellt wird vor allem beim Logistikzentrum, einige Artikel werden aber auch direkt beim Hersteller oder Zwischenhändler bestellt. Solche Artikel werden im Unternehmen auch Streckenwaren genannt."

agree Steffen Walter : In line with the definition that Michael gave in his comment on my reference posting.
