Abstract

At the beginning of the Internet era business experts predicted that wholesale distributors would disappear. They thought that in the new electronic world the middleman would be cut and manufacturers would “source and sell” directly to customers. Many proclaimed that this was the end of traditional selling and distribution. The reality, however, is that there are still a few traditional wholesalers outperforming the market. The reason for their success is their concentration in local markets, local suppliers, distribution channels and prime licensing. The new edition of the American Wholesalers and Distributors Directory provides access information to these wholesalers and distributors.
