Two directors, one trade: custom sourcing

Markindus, founded in 2006, was taken over by Matthieu Villez and David Brac de la Perrière in 2016. They previously ran a household-appliance distribution business together for twenty years. Backed by that solid, lasting partnership, they take on your projects, from the first idea to delivery at the warehouse.
