Who We Are
Builders24 Distribution is an end-to-end wholesale, import, supply chain management, distribution and logistics company. We purchase goods, manage imports and exports, warehouse stock, and supply directly to businesses across 17 active markets in Africa. We do not broker deals or facilitate introductions — we own the process from procurement to delivery.
Operating as part of the Builders24 Group — a multi-region construction and retail conglomerate across Africa — we have the infrastructure, the capital, and the operational capacity to move product at scale across the SADC region and into East and West Africa.
Whether goods are sourced globally or regionally, we handle every step: procurement, import clearance, warehousing, cross-border logistics, and final supply. One company. Full accountability. No gaps in the chain.
Our Position
"We are not a platform, a marketplace, or a middleman. We are a fully integrated distribution business that buys, imports, exports, transports, and sells — taking complete ownership of every product we handle across Africa."
By The Numbers
Builders24 Distribution is active across 17 African markets — spanning the full SADC region plus Uganda, Nigeria, and Kenya. Every market is operational, with dedicated supply chains and logistics support on the ground.
