Suppliers
Tip:
U.S. Public companies must disclose their customers' names, when 10% or more of their revenue comes from sales to a single materially important customer. You'll find these in companies 10-K (Annual) SEC filings.
Companies' Investor Relations pages can be a good supply chain resource, with details or lists of suppliers, sustainability efforts, etc.
Distributors
Tip: 
The terminology used for distributor may vary by industry. Synonyms might include: reseller, wholesaler, dealer, and broker.
First:
To build a list of distributors by industry (and location), first find the most relevant NAICS code for your product category. NAICS codes related to "Wholesale Trade" start with the number 42.
Second:
Using one of the following company directory databases, enter the relevant NAICS code (it's an available search option), and use any other limiting criteria (e.g. location) that you need.
