A distribution company,
built in Nagercoil.
No.1 Distributors is a family-run FMCG distribution business in Kanyakumari district and southern Tamil Nadu. For 25 years we have taken trusted brands to thousands of shops. We work as a Distributor and as a Super Stockist (the main stockist that supplies other distributors in a region). Our promise is simple: your shelf is never empty.
25 years.
The same high standard.
We grew slowly and steadily. Brands and retailers knew they could count on us. First we built trust. Then we built the warehouses, branches and vehicles.

Three rules.
We always follow them.
These rules decide which brands we work with, who we hire, and how we treat every shop we serve.
Be reliable, always
Stock is always ready. We never miss a weekly visit. Our bills are right the first time. We keep it simple.
Relationships, not one-off sales
We built our good name over 25 years, one retailer and one brand at a time. We protect it with the same care.
Wider reach, stronger brands
Each new branch and sub-distributor helps every brand we carry grow stronger across the region.
From one delivery route to the south's No.1.
