WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
OUR STORY
Since 1971, we've been importing and distributing premium cosmetics brands across Southern Africa. Our reach has since expanded throughout Africa, but our commitment to excellence remains unchanged.
As our business grew, we recognised a need for a more bespoke approach in the logistics industry. We strategically positioned ourselves as a specialised distribution service partner, offering tailored and integrative solutions to meet the specific needs of our clients.
We've evolved from an internal distribution arm to a specialised standalone distribution services company, proudly servicing Southern African distributors, retailers, and subsidiaries.
This transformation culminated in the creation of Prestige Distribution Services (PDS) in 2020. Since then, we've been on a mission to revolutionise the distribution game.
