Our Company

With a solid track record of more than 94 years, M. Block and Sons is a company specializing in real-time, end-to-end distribution and fulfillment solutions for manufacturers and consumer goods companies operating in traditional commerce channels. We provide both the value-added services of traditional wholesale distribution as well as fulfillment solutions that present a compelling alternative to the costs, complexities, and risks associated with handling mid-level retail logistics in-house.

Block Distribution manages the logistics of assembling a broad array of consumer products from different manufacturers and delivering them on a just-in-time basis to retail accounts. Block House operates in partnership with the client (manufacturer) managing the exclusive fulfillment of their products to a designated and exclusive account channel or account base.
