A distributor wholesaler is a business that sells products to retailers and other businesses, usually in large quantities for resale. Distributor wholesalers serve as the middlemen between manufacturers and businesses that need those products. They are responsible for buying and stocking the items from the manufacturer and reselling them to the retail stores or customers at a higher price. The goal of a distributor wholesaler is to obtain a large volume of products to supply new customers while also having enough stock to fulfill any requests from existing customers. By being able to buy goods in bulk and pass them on to others at a discounted rate, distributor wholesalers are essential to keeping the supply chain moving efficiently.
