- Australia’s only independent home improvement and hardware wholesaler to the industry.

Supported by the wholesaling part of the business, the network of over 430 Mitre 10 and True Value Hardware stores are privately owned, passionately operated and committed to helping every customer with expert advice. These stores have been providing millions of homeowners with solutions to their home improvement projects for over 50 years. They are part of local communities throughout the country with 70 percent of the stores located in regional Australia.
