distributorët

Distributorët, also known as wholesale distributors or simply wholesalers, are businesses or individuals that purchase goods in large quantities from manufacturers or other producers and then resell them to other businesses, such as retailers, industrial users, or other distributors, but not typically to the end consumer. Their primary role in the supply chain is to bridge the gap between production and consumption.

Distributors add value by performing several key functions. They break down bulk quantities from manufacturers into smaller, more manageable lots for retailers. They often provide storage and warehousing facilities, reducing the need for manufacturers to hold large inventories. Additionally, distributors can offer credit to their customers, manage transportation and logistics, and provide marketing and sales support to the products they carry. They may also offer technical expertise or after-sales service.

The presence of distributors simplifies the market for both manufacturers and retailers. Manufacturers can focus on production without needing to establish extensive sales and distribution networks. Retailers can access a wide variety of products from multiple manufacturers through a single point of contact, saving time and effort. This intermediary role is crucial for the efficient flow of goods in many industries, from consumer electronics and groceries to industrial machinery and pharmaceuticals. Their business model relies on the margin between their purchase price and their selling price.
