About Us | Nova Distribution Group

Our Story

From Local Roots to Regional Leader

Nova Distribution Group was founded in Vancouver in 2008 by industry veterans who saw an opportunity to build a different kind of distribution company — one focused on genuine sales partnership rather than just moving boxes.

What started as a small team of five sales representatives calling on natural food stores in the Lower Mainland has grown into Western Canada's leading independent B2B sales and distribution organization. Today, we represent over 75 brands across all major retail channels.

Our growth has been built on a simple philosophy: treat every brand like it's our own. We don't just take orders — we actively sell, advocate, and strategize alongside our partners to build lasting success in the market.
