# Distributors and wholesalers headquartered in the Loire department

Tamtam tracks 31 distributors and wholesalers headquartered in the Loire department. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by BBA Emballages, EUREA and Rivolier sas. Their median headcount is 14. Half of them were founded in 1979 or later. The most common headquarters are Saint-Étienne (5).

The Loire department's distribution and wholesale sector features a mix of long-established companies and more recent ventures. These firms primarily focus on specialized equipment, food products, and packaging. Notable companies include BBA Emballages, a distributor of packaging for professionals; EUREA, an agricultural and agro-food group; Rivolier sas, which imports and distributes specialized equipment for armed forces; and Tendance, specializing in bathroom accessories.

The companies span various sub-sectors, from food and beverage to industrial supplies. A common pattern observed is the presence of several companies with a long history, such as Rivolier sas founded in 1830 and EUREA in 1937, alongside younger companies like Tendance and 123elec, both founded in 2008. This blend indicates a sector with both deep roots and ongoing evolution.

## 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.
