ABOUT US
OUR BACKGROUND
Since 1971 we have imported and distributed premium cosmetics brands in Southern Africa. More recently, the distribution network has expanded into the rest of Africa.
Over the years we identified a gap in the market and have strategically positioned ourselves as a bespoke distribution service partner with an offering that is unique to the premium cosmetics industry.
We have evolved from an internal distribution arm to a specialised standalone distribution services company that contracts to external customers – proudly servicing Distributors, Retailers and Subsidiaries within Southern Africa.
This led to the creation of Prestige Distribution Services (PDS) in 2020.
