Founded in 1992 in Crinjila, Wollongong NSW, our journey began under the name Four Stars. Over the years, we expanded our footprint across Sydney, evolving into a prominent beverage distribution company. By 2010, we had grown to a team of 16 employees and managed a diverse inventory of 3,000 items, including products from leading brands such as Colgate, Unilever, Red Bull, Coca-Cola, and Schweppes.
Inspired by his father’s entrepreneurial spirit, Ali Choukor started his own venture, SWD, in 2017, beginning with just a van. Ali, who graduated high school in 2015, spent his formative years in the family warehouse. His early exposure to the business instilled in him a deep passion for the industry, making it clear that this was his lifelong calling.
Today, SWD stands as a testament to our commitment to quality, reliability, and growth, building on a legacy that will span decades. We specialize in a wide range of products including beverages, oils, household products, office products, FMCG, and product packaging.
