National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors
The wholesale distribution industry remains an important force in all major sectors of the U.S. economy, ranging from basic commodities to advanced technology components. Sales of all wholesaler-distributors reached $4.2 trillion in 2007, a 8.6% increase versus the previous year. (See Exhibit 1.) Nearly all major sectors of the industry grew in 2007.
The industry supports an impressive diversity of companies. The vast majority of the nation’s 250,000 wholesaler-distributors are entrepreneurial family-run business with fewer than 500 employees. The largest wholesaler-distributors are multi-billion dollar publicly traded powerhouses that employ thousands of people.
