MCP Fixings

What MCP Fixings does

MCP Fixings is a UK-based specialist distributor of construction fixings, fasteners, tools, personal protective equipment (PPE), site equipment, and sealants, serving the construction and engineering sectors. The company operates from headquarters in Warrington, UK, and runs a sales-led B2B motion targeting contractors, sub-contractors, structural engineers, and fabricators. Its product portfolio spans six core categories — fixings (chemical anchors, mechanical anchors, cavity fixings), fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, screws), tools (hand tools, drill bits, cutting discs, holesaws, screwdriver bits), safety/workwear/PPE, site equipment (lighting, security, power, protection, tapes), and sealants (adhesives, foams, silicones) — covering more than 3,500 stock-keeping units with next-day delivery across the United Kingdom. The portfolio is sourced from strategic brand partners including Rawlplug, Lindapter, SIKA, Bosch, Evolution Fasteners, and Port West, rather than from proprietary manufacturing.

MCP Fixings generates revenue through B2B product sales combined with a high-touch technical services layer that includes on-site anchor pull testing, design and specification assistance, compliance and ETA documentation, and training. The company holds Construction Fixings Association (CFA) Approved Distributor status and aligns its specification support to BS 8539, EN 1992-4, CPR, UKCA, and ETA standards — compliance documentation that is particularly valuable for safety-critical structural and fire-rated applications. Pricing is quote-based and account-specific, consistent with project-driven contractor purchasing rather than list-price retail.

MCP Fixings was originally established in 1970 as Maran Atha Fasteners and was later rebranded under its current name while continuing operations under the same ownership lineage. The company is a trading division of SIG Trading Limited, which is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIG plc, a UK-listed diversified building products distributor. The business has 11-50 employees and has operated continuously for over 50 years.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Toolstation: UK and European trade retailer (Travis Perkins subsidiary) supplying fixings, tools, and site consumables. Comparable as a multi-category trade counter but skewed toward DIY/small trades and lighter on engineering-grade anchor specification.
• Travis Perkins: Largest UK builders' merchant with national branch network stocking fixings, fasteners, sealants, and PPE. Direct overlap with MCP's core product range and customer base (UK contractors), though scale is far greater.
• Jewsons: UK builders' merchant (Saint-Gobain) with branches and online trade offering for fixings, fasteners, tools, and sealants. Comparable to MCP in product breadth but operates at much larger scale and through physical branches.
• Screwfix: UK trade counter and online retailer for fixings, fasteners, tools, and PPE owned by Kingfisher. It is the largest at-scale distribution competitor to MCP Fixings in the UK contractor market, though it does not specialize in specification-grade compliance anchoring or structural steelwork.

Regional players

• MKM Building Supplies: Independent UK builders' merchant with branch network stocking fixings, fasteners, tools, sealants, and PPE. Comparable to MCP in product range and customer segments but operates a regional branch model rather than a centralised distribution model.
• Howdens Joinery: UK kitchen and joinery supplier (depot model) that also stocks fixings, fasteners, sealants, and tools for trade customers. Comparable as a UK trade counter and SIG-adjacent distributor footprint, though skewed toward the joinery segment.

Others

• Rawlplug: Global manufacturer of fixings and anchors (R-KER-II, R-HPTIII, R-KEX-II) — these are products MCP Fixings distributes. Rawlplug also sells direct and through competing distributors, so it is a partner and an adjacent competitive threat rather than a like-for-like peer.
• Lindapter: Manufacturer of steelwork fixing solutions (Hollo-Bolt, Type FL, Type MF Decking Fixing) that MCP distributes. Adjacent as a manufacturer-brand rather than a like-for-like distributor, but industry-comparable for go-to-market analysis.

Direct peers

• Würth UK: UK arm of Würth Group, a global specialist in fixings, fasteners, and consumables sold direct to trade. Closest direct peer to MCP Fixings in product mix (anchors, chemical fixings, screws) and technical-service-led distribution model.
• Rawlfix: Independent UK fixings distributor offering anchors, fasteners, and sealants to contractors. Closest peer to MCP Fixings by business model (specialist B2B fixings distribution with technical support) and UK focus.
