Our History
A journey spanning more than 15 years as a distribution partner trusted by global brands.
Founder Phạm Đình Nguyên—after stints at Coca-Cola, Nokia, Mars, X-Men, and Kinh Đô—established IDS in District 12, Ho Chi Minh City, with the mission of being “a distributor that acts as a partner, not a middleman.”
Over the past 12 months, three international brands have chosen IDS: VISSAN (to build a distribution network across 23 provinces in northern Vietnam), Castrol (to establish a retail network compliant with global BP standards), and L’Oréal Vichy (to operate a flagship store and beauty advisor program).
We handle the premium brands Lancôme, Shu Uemura, and Kiehl’s under L’Oréal’s Luxury (Luxe) division.
IDS has been named a “Global Ambassador” by Castrol BP—one of 63 global representatives—after being recognized as an “Outstanding Distributor” in Vietnam for five consecutive years.
Expand L’Oréal’s Consumer Products Division (CPD) in Ho Chi Minh City with L’Oréal Paris, Maybelline, and Garnier—managing both premium and mass-market product lines simultaneously.
IDS remains a trusted distribution partner, continuously enhancing its operational capabilities to support international brands in Vietnam.
