Direct peers

• EET Group: EET Group is a European B2B wholesale distributor of IT/CE accessories and components, with strong Nordic and pan-European coverage. Cenor and EET share the same core business model — multi-brand B2B distribution of CE accessories to retailers and resellers — making EET the closest direct comparable.
• Westcoast: Westcoast is a UK-based IT and consumer electronics distributor serving resellers and retailers. Similar business model to Cenor (multi-brand B2B wholesale of CE accessories), though primarily UK-focused rather than Nordic, positioning it as a regional comparable.
• Northamber: Northamber is a UK-based value-added distributor of enterprise IT and AV/UC products with growing CE accessories exposure. Direct comparable in business model — multi-vendor B2B distribution to resellers — though its category mix leans more enterprise.

Broad incumbents

• ALSO Group: ALSO is a major European B2B distributor of IT and consumer electronics, including accessories, serving thousands of resellers. It operates at materially larger scale and broader portfolio than Cenor, but the underlying model of multi-vendor CE accessory distribution to retailers is directly comparable.
• TD Synnex (Tech Data): TD Synnex is a global IT and consumer electronics distributor serving resellers and retailers across Europe and the Nordics. While significantly larger and more diversified than Cenor, it competes for the same Nordic retailer share-of-wallet and is a structural benchmark for the multi-brand CE distribution model.
• Ingram Micro: Ingram Micro is one of the largest global distributors of IT products and consumer electronics, with established Nordic operations. Comparable to Cenor as a wholesale channel serving retailers/resellers, though at vastly larger scale and with much broader category coverage.
• Exertis (DCC Technology): Exertis is a pan-European B2B distributor of mobile, IT, and consumer electronics products to retailers and resellers. Comparable to Cenor in core operating model, but substantially larger and broader in geographic and product scope.

Regional players

• Dustin: Dustin is a Nordic B2B-focused reseller and distributor of IT hardware, services, and consumer electronics. Operates in the same Nordic geography as Cenor with overlapping products (accessories, peripherals, CE), though Dustin is more weighted toward IT hardware and enterprise resale than accessory distribution.
• Komplett (Norwegian ownership): Komplett is a large Nordic e-commerce retailer and reseller of consumer electronics and accessories. Overlaps with Cenor's assortment on the demand side (retailers and end consumers buying CE accessories) and serves as a downstream reference point for the Nordic CE accessory market in which Cenor competes.

Emerging players

• Sh distributor (Micro Dynamics Nordic / Brightstar): Brightstar is a global mobile-device accessories distributor serving carriers, retailers, and resellers. Comparable to Cenor in the mobile-accessories wholesale vertical, though more carrier-focused and with deeper geographic reach than Cenor's Nordic-only footprint.
