Who is the Distributor?

A distributor is a company that purchases goods or products from a manufacturer and then resells them to retailers or end-users. Distributors play an essential role in the supply chain by providing a link between the manufacturer and the end-user, as well as providing value-added services such as warehousing, transportation, and logistics. Distributors may operate regionally, nationally, or internationally, depending on the scope of their business.
