— Who we are

Built for this category.

Group IVB S.A. is an independent specialist distributor of sports, running and outdoor brands for the Caribbean. We operate with our own infrastructure — warehousing, logistics and a dedicated team — built exclusively around sports categories.

Our headquarters are in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with commercial operations and logistics hubs spanning Florida, the Colón Free Zone in Panama, and Santo Domingo. This three-hub model lets us serve the full Caribbean basin with the speed and reliability brands expect.

We believe the outdoors holds endless opportunities for personal growth, adventure and connection. We exist to make sure the right products are available to the right people — in the right stores, at the right price, at the right time.

— Infrastructure

Three hubs. One network.

Strategically located logistics and commercial hubs that let us supply the entire Caribbean basin without delay.

— How we operate

Commercial capability that scales.

Sales Network
7 Key Account Managers
Seven dedicated KAMs provide personalized follow-up to all accounts across the Caribbean — from specialty retailers and hotel pro shops to golf clubs and premium gyms.
Brand Marketing
Dedicated brand execution team
An in-house marketing team directs ideology, branding, product messaging and campaign targeting for each brand — online and offline, by channel and by market segment.
Digital Infrastructure
CRM · ERP · BI · Analytics
Full-stack digital operations: CRM for account management, ERP for inventory and logistics, and business intelligence tools for real-time sell-through tracking and market reporting.
Market Segmentation
Channel and account precision
Each brand is placed in the right channel mix — hotel pro shops, golf and tennis clubs, specialty retail, premium malls and mono-brand activations — protecting brand equity at every touchpoint.
— What drives us

Four principles.

01
Category first, always.
Every decision — which retailers to open, how to price, which channels to protect — is made based on what is right for the category. Not what is convenient for short-term volume.
02
Customer-centric execution.
We are driven by the desire to understand what customers at each account need — and to provide the service, training and assortment that makes them successful. Their sell-through is our metric.
03
Brand guardianship is non-negotiable.
Pricing discipline, channel control, and retail placement integrity. We protect each brand's equity as if it were our own — because our reputation in this market depends on it.
04
Long-term, by design.
We don't optimize for the first season. We build partnerships designed to grow over years — with the commercial infrastructure, retailer relationships and market knowledge to sustain that growth.
— The operation

Our own infrastructure.

Group IVB operates with its own dedicated infrastructure — not a shared or borrowed network, but an operation built specifically for sports, running and outdoor categories across the Caribbean.

This means brands working with IVB don't need to build a regional operation from scratch. Warehousing, customs clearance, logistics, key account relationships and retail presence are already running at scale.

We are not a generalist distributor that also handles sports. Sports is all we do — and our entire infrastructure is organized around making that work.

— Our position
"We are not the biggest distributor in the Caribbean. We are the one that understands sports categories — and that is exactly what the brands in our portfolio are looking for."
