EST • 2008
Direct Brand Distributors is an independent, national, distribution company. Since our conception in 2008, we have successfully procured & distributed brands in close collaboration with brand owners.
How can we offer such good value?
You don't pay for the large corporate overhead and infrastructure of the large distributors so our margins are lower. We combine fast moving product portfolios across industries.
Why will you find us better?
Our wide range limits the amount of suppliers you need to call to meet your needs. You will find us professional, responsive and consistently contactable. If we make a mistake we will be highly motivated to fix it and are not too big to make the necessary changes to ensure that we do.
