# Distributors and wholesalers headquartered in Australia

Tamtam tracks 132 distributors and wholesalers headquartered in Australia. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Greencap, Metcash and Wesfarmers Industrial and Safety. Their median headcount is 804. Half of them were founded in 1943 or later. The most common headquarters are Sydney (5), Docklands (3) and Adelaide (2).

These Australian companies are primarily distributors and wholesalers, with a strong presence in retail, industrial supplies, and agricultural sectors. The list includes a mix of very large corporations and established mid-sized firms. Greencap, a diversified corporation, operates in home improvement and apparel, while Metcash is a wholesaler in food, liquor, and hardware. Wesfarmers Industrial and Safety supplies industrial products, and Reece Group distributes plumbing and HVAC-R products. WesTrac Cat provides Cat equipment, and Accent Group Limited focuses on footwear and apparel retail.

A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in major Australian cities, with multiple companies based in Sydney and Perth. The companies also show a mix of founding eras, from Elders established in 1839 to EBOS MedTech founded in 2022, indicating both long-standing industries and more recent technological developments.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
