It is this ethos that has enabled McMahons Builders Providers to become one of the most respected builder’s merchants in the country. Founded in 1830, in the bustling port city of Limerick, by the mid-19th century McMahons was a flourishing business involved in cooperage, manufacturing, and saw milling. From its earliest days, McMahons had been a major importer of timber materials to support its various activities. In the early part of the 20th century, the company grew to become the largest timber supplier in the country. Later, McMahons widened its focus to include all building materials used by the construction industry. In recent years, the further expansion of the company included the acquisition of Francis Speight, a large timber importer in the Republic of Ireland, as well as Robert Keyes, a builder’s merchant in Northern Ireland. Today, McMahons builders providers has grown to become one of the largest independent builder’s providers in Ireland, with a network of 11 branches nationwide as well as a Truss Manufacturing plant and 3 Hardwood & Sheet Material branches. McMahons are presently entering an exciting phase with our new website and ecommerce business that we are excited to bring you.
