Screwfix Hardware and Tools

Screwfix is a prominent multi-channel retailer of trade tools, accessories, and hardware products. Originally established as a mail-order business in the United Kingdom, it has evolved into a leading specialized retailer serving both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts. While the brand is synonymous with British retail history, its product manufacturing is a global operation. Screwfix sources its vast inventory of power tools, plumbing supplies, and electrical equipment from a network of global manufacturers, primarily located across Europe and Asia, to ensure competitive pricing and broad availability.

The brand's ownership structure has shifted from its independent beginnings to becoming a flagship part of a major retail group. Today, Screwfix is an integral part of Kingfisher plc, an international home improvement company. Under Kingfisher's stewardship, Screwfix has expanded its footprint significantly, utilizing a robust digital platform and a massive network of physical stores to dominate the trade supply market in the UK and Ireland, and more recently, expanding its service model into mainland Europe.
