About Us


Established in 1924, EA Martin & Son Ltd proudly celebrated 100 years in business on 17th March 2024. For a century, we have been supplying hardware, tools and housewares to the trade, building long-standing partnerships with retailers and merchants across Ireland.

From our warehouse facility in Kilrea, Northern Ireland, we operate as a dedicated B2B wholesale distributor, serving customers throughout the whole of Ireland. Our focus is simple: dependable supply, strong product ranges, competitive pricing and service our trade customers can rely on.

Over the past 100 years, our business has continually evolved - expanding our product offering, strengthening supplier relationships and investing in systems and infrastructure to better support today’s retail environment. While much has changed since 1924, our commitment to supporting independent merchants and trade customers remains the same.

We invite you to explore our timeline and discover how EA Martin & Son has grown from its early beginnings to become a trusted wholesale partner for hardware and homeware retailers across Ireland.

Above all, we extend our sincere thanks to our customers. Your continued support has shaped our journey over the last century, and we look forward to supplying you for many years to come.
