Grafton Group plc is an international building materials distributor and DIY retailer, headquartered in Dublin and listed on the London Stock Exchange.
We operate trusted local brands with strong market positions across four geographic segments: the Island of Ireland, Great Britain, Northern Europe and Iberia.
Our strategic objective is to be a leading European distributor of building materials and construction-related products, delivering value through regional and national branch networks of market-leading brands. We primarily serve small and medium-sized contractors and installers active in residential repair, maintenance and improvement (RMI) and new-build markets.
In addition to our distribution businesses, we operate Ireland’s largest consumer-focused DIY retailer, which complements our Irish distribution operations. We also manufacture and distribute directly to end customers in the mortar, timber staircase and window markets in the UK.
