Hillman Group
The Hillman Group was started in 1964 as a fastener company, serving independently-owned hardware stores. During the past five decades, we’ve leveraged our unique ability to simplify the hardware buying experience and become the industry leader to top home improvement and local hardware retailers.
Our founder, Max W. Hillman, Sr., led the company with an emphasis on outstanding service, quality products and with an innovative spirit. Even though we’ve grown into a North American category leader with more than 130,000 SKUs, his values and principles continue to inspire our team.
As a result, we work, act and think like a true partner for retailers of all sizes across North America. We are proud of the support we provide and the relationships we’ve built with more than 26,000 companies, including Lowe’s, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Ace Hardware, True Value, Do-It-Best, Walmart, Canadian Tire and many more.
