# The 27 largest distributors and wholesalers in Kansas

Tamtam tracks 27 distributors and wholesalers headquartered in Kansas. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Associated Wholesale Grocers, Murphy-Hoffman Company (MHC Kenworth) and DH Pace Company, Inc.. Their median headcount is 240. Half of them were founded in 1973 or later. The most common headquarters are Wichita (7), Kansas City (5) and Lenexa (2).

These Kansas companies are primarily large, established firms specializing in wholesale distribution, particularly in building materials, food, and industrial supplies, alongside significant players in construction equipment and transportation. Most were founded in the mid-20th century. For example, Associated Wholesale Grocers is a cooperative food wholesaler, DH Pace Company, Inc. provides door products and services, and TVH Parts Co. offers industrial and agriculture vehicle parts. Murphy-Hoffman Company (MHC Kenworth) operates truck dealerships and related services.

A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in Kansas City, Olathe, and Overland Park, indicating a regional hub for distribution and related services. While wholesale and construction are prominent, the list also includes companies like Staples Promotional Products, a global leader in branded merchandise, and Heartland Coca-Cola, a beverage distributor. This blend highlights a diversified yet interconnected commercial landscape.

## 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.
