Samac Fixings

What Samac Fixings does

Samac Fixings Limited is a UK-based specialist wholesale distributor of fixings, fasteners, and related building products, headquartered at 2-4 Capitol Industrial Centre, Fulmar Way, Wickford, Essex. Founded approximately 2003-2004, the company has supplied the merchant trade for over 12 years, offering a broad assortment organised across Screws & Plugs (including the Performance Range and Atlas Screws), Viper-branded collated gun nails and power tool accessories, nails in multiple finishes (Bright, Galvanised, Sherardised, Yellow Passivated, Cut, Masonry, Brass, Copper), fixings and fasteners, roofing products under the Rooftec sub-brand, building products (joist hangers, restraints, ironmongery), fencing products, wire netting and welded mesh, and adhesives, silicones, sealants and cleaning consumables (Lignum, UniWipe, Ultra Tapes). Packaging is geared to trade channels with 25kg bulk boxes, pre-packed bags, and buckets.

The business runs a traditional B2B distribution model with no proprietary technology platform, app, API, or SDK surface. Customer acquisition and ordering are conducted via a static catalogue-style website (samacfixings.co.uk) with a downloadable PDF catalogue, alongside direct trade-account relationships. Distribution is concentrated in the United Kingdom through direct supply to building materials merchants, hardware distributors, and trade suppliers; no international footprint is indicated. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears to operate on quote-based trade terms. Revenue is generated almost entirely from hardware sales of distributed third-party brands (Viper, Rooftec, Atlas Screws, Lignum, UniWipe) combined with the company’s own Performance Range label.

The product portfolio has expanded progressively beyond core fasteners into roofing systems and adjacent trade consumables, supported by brand distribution agreements rather than M&A. There is no evidence of external investment, private equity backing, or institutional shareholders; ownership commentary indicates an independently owned private limited company, likely founder-controlled. With 11-50 employees and a single UK site, Samac Fixings operates as a niche trade distributor whose competitive position rests on merchant relationships, SKU breadth, and brand portfolio rather than technology or scale advantages.
