What is a product distributor?

Product distributors are businesses or individuals that purchase goods from manufacturers or wholesalers and then sell them to retailers, businesses, or directly to consumers. They play a critical role in the supply chain by ensuring products are delivered to the right markets efficiently. Distributors often handle storage, transportation, and sometimes marketing of the products they distribute, making it easier for manufacturers to reach a wider audience. Their knowledge of local markets and established distribution networks can help companies expand their reach and improve sales.
