UNITED HARDWARE DESIGNATED ACTIVITY COMPANY

United Hardware Designated Activity Company is Ireland's leading buying and marketing group for independent builders' merchants, DIY and home-and-garden retailers. By pooling the purchasing power of more than 160 independent stores, United Hardware enables its members to compete with the large chains that dominate the market, while retaining the personal service and expertise that local retailers are known for.

The group offers a full suite of support services, including a 140,000 sq ft purpose-built warehouse on an eight-acre site just off the M50, a dedicated buying team that sources products worldwide, and specialist marketing, events, store-operations, store-development and graphic-design teams. Members also benefit from an intranet "one-stop-shop" for ordering, invoicing and in-store POS design, as well as a 7,000 sq ft showroom showcasing over 30 product categories. Through access to more than 600 suppliers and exclusive brands, United Hardware's retail brand Homevalue - a network of over 85 independently owned stores - delivers the best products at the lowest prices to both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts.

Fully Irish-owned and operating for over 50 years, United Hardware is committed to empowering independent retailers across the island, helping them grow sales, enhance supplier relationships and develop modern, state-of-the-art retail facilities.
