Today's Lesson
DISTRIBUTOR   販売業者、卸売業者

Explanation

  • To distribute a product is to supply it to stores and other businesses where it is sold.

    The noun form is distribution.

    A distributor is a business that provides products to other businesses.

    Be Careful! Unlike some suppliers, a distributor does NOT manufacture a product. Rather it purchases the product from the manufacturer to resell to other businesses.
  • distribute とは、製品を販売する店や他の企業に製品を供給する、つまり、流通させる、という意味です。

    名詞形は distribution で、流通、という意味になります。

    distributor とは、他の企業に対して製品を供給する卸売業者のことです。

    注意: supplier とは違い、distributor は製品を製造しません。製造業者から製品を購入して、他の企業に転売します。
