Brands represented by Go Distribution: our sales portfolio
The brands represented by Go Distribution are the best proof of our expertise as a multi-line sales agency. Since 1994, French and European manufacturers in the DIY, garden, hardware and PPE sectors have entrusted us with the distribution of their ranges across the South of France. This page presents our portfolio and how your brand can join it.
A portfolio of complementary brands, never competing ones
A multi-line sales agency is judged first and foremost on the brands it champions in the field. Our portfolio covers complementary, non-competing product categories: stapling and nailing, fixings, PPE, storage, security, cutting tools and bathroom products. Every mandate therefore benefits from the full extent of our sales rounds, with no conflict of interest between ranges.
This complementarity is also an asset for distributors: our agents bring department managers and buyers a coherent offering that covers several product families in a single visit.
The brands we represent in the field
Rapid — stapling and nailing
We present and manage the Rapid ranges with DIY superstores, hardware stores and industrial supplies distributors: product listings, shelf maintenance and in-store promotions.
Difac — personal protective equipment
For Difac, our agents develop the PPE business in industrial supplies, builders’ merchants and hardware stores, with in-depth product advice work alongside sales teams.
Mottez — storage and carrying solutions
We champion Mottez storage and carrying solutions in DIY superstores and garden centres: in-store installations, seasonal promotions and restocking follow-up.
SPIT — fixings
For SPIT, we develop the fixings business with builders’ merchants, industrial supplies distributors and DIY superstores, with product demonstrations and technical support for retailers.
Master Lock — padlocks and security
We represent Master Lock in the security aisles of DIY superstores, hardware stores and industrial supplies distributors: range listings, merchandising and point-of-sale follow-up.
Boku — Japanese toilets
For Boku, our agents present Japanese toilets to DIY chains and specialist distributors across our territory, with demonstrations and sales staff training.
Alpha Coupe — cutting tools
We develop Alpha Coupe cutting tools in garden centres, hardware stores and DIY superstores: prospecting, product listings and shelf-edge activation.
What every brand gets in concrete terms
Whatever the product category, our principals benefit from the same foundation of fieldwork:
- Prospecting and product listings with chains and independents across our territory;
- Regular point-of-sale visits: shelf maintenance, restocking, relationships with department managers;
- In-store promotions and demonstrations;
- Field feedback and reporting: competition, pricing, distributor expectations.
That is the whole point of an outsourced sales force: you gain immediate access to a network built over 30 years, without recruiting. We set out the maths in our article why outsource your sales force.

Your brand can join this portfolio
If you are a French or European manufacturer and your products fall within DIY, garden, hardware, tools, fixings or PPE, your range has a place alongside ours. The framework is simple: an exclusive distribution mandate covering the South of France, which guarantees your brand the full commitment of our agents across your territory.
We assess every application against one key criterion: complementarity with the existing portfolio. This is what protects our current and future principals.
