This selection of wholesale companies in Africa includes established mid-sized firms, many founded between the 1980s and early 2000s. These companies span various sectors, from consumer goods to industrial supplies.

Key players include ARMA Trading, a consumer goods company in the Middle East, Africa, and Mediterranean, and Naivas Supermarkets, which operates a chain of supermarkets across Kenya.

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 14, 2026.
