# The 49 largest Wholesale companies in California

Tamtam tracks 49 Wholesale companies headquartered in California. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by COMUNE, a private company and Harrington Process Solutions. Their median headcount is 166. Half of them were founded in 1989 or later. The most common headquarters are Los Angeles (6), San Diego (3) and San Francisco (3).

These California-based wholesale companies operate across a range of sectors, from industrial supplies to specialty foods and apparel. Many are established firms, some with decades of experience, indicating a mature wholesale market. COMUNE, with over 5,000 employees, focuses on fashion apparel, while Harrington Process Solutions supplies industrial products. KeHE & DPI Specialty Foods distributes gourmet and organic food items, and WAXIE Sanitary Supply provides janitorial products.

A notable pattern among these companies is the strong presence of firms headquartered in Southern California, particularly around the Los Angeles area. Companies like COMUNE, Unified Grocers, and JFC International Inc. are based in Los Angeles or nearby cities. This suggests a concentration of wholesale operations in that region.

## 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.
