JDL Group is a South African group specialising in the importation and distribution of high quality branded automotive, industrial and electrical consumable products, mainly in the southern African region.

JDL Group businesses serve markets that fall into all primary categories. The automotive aftermarket, power tool and security businesses supply products into markets with a bias towards consumer spending whilst the bearings, power transmission and diesel engine businesses supply engineering consumables mainly to mining and manufacturing customers.

JDL Group sources branded products, mainly on an exclusive basis, directly from leading international manufacturers and to a lesser extent from local manufacturers. JDL Group seeks out niche areas in markets where customers need, and are prepared to pay for, the value Hudaco adds to the products it distributes. The value added includes product specification, technical advice, application and installation training and troubleshooting, combined with ready availability at a fair price. The group has a network of specialised branches and independent distributors throughout southern Africa to ensure product availability to its customers. All JDL Group businesses are 15% owned directly by BEE shareholders.
