The wholesale distribution sector includes businesses that serve as intermediaries between manufacturers and retailers. We have extensive experience working with businesses active in the supply chain between manufacturers and end-users in various market sectors. These companies usually have business-to-business models and generate revenue through the procurement of products or materials at low prices that are marked up for profit when distributed and sold.

Because these businesses provide convenience and omit the need to deal with numerous suppliers, they are favored among retailers. Some businesses may be in the growth or mature life cycle stage, depending on the products they distribute. Since the sector deals with light regulation, it is quite easy to enter. Product selection, competitive pricing, and service excellence are the top factors most industry players compete for when trying to acquire new business.

Companies in this industry gain a competitive advantage by offering exclusive products or establishing excellent distribution channels and supplier relationships. Particular growth factors for sector players depend on each distributor’s specific industry of operation.

The wholesale distribution sector is fragmented, large, and the main engine of the American economy, pushing products throughout the country and the world. Some of the obstacles wholesale distributors face daily include regulatory constraints, limited margins and expansion opportunities, slipping market share, and structural impediments. Building a business within the industry is often achieved by acquisition – and having experts to guide you when the time comes to take that step makes all the difference.

Geography and technology are two of the main selling features for businesses in the sector. Offering a smarter approach to business is where Morgan & Westfield’s insights help sellers and buyers thrive in achieving their goals. We’ll help you secure the maximum value for your business, whether you plan to expand with a capital raise or exit the industry. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you.
