Company Profile
Allinton was founded in 1982. In those days, it was difficult to source for quality hardware and engineering tools. Procuring tools meant visiting numerous hardware stores just to get the suitable ones at fair prices – a tedious and time-consuming chore. This inspired our founder, Mr Albert Chin, to create a large hardware store that offers quality hardware tools at good value so that engineers are able to find the right tools easily.
Today, we are one of Singapore’s largest hardware distributors. Our two warehouses combine a capacity larger than 30,000 sqft and carry ready stocks worth close to $12million. Behind this immense inventory is a fleet of trucks and dedicated drivers supporting deliveries islandwide. With a deep understanding of our customers’ needs, we offer complimentary deliveries regardless of volume and amount, and strive to go the extra mile to make the entire procurement process as straightforward and fuss-free as possible.
Headquartered in Singapore, we’ve expanded our regional presence to Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Kazakhstan serving customers across a spectrum of industries including Construction, Oil and Gas, Shipyards, Petrochemicals, and Manufacturing. Whatever and wherever our customers need, we go the extra mile for to make things work for them.
