Our organization
As the biggest home improvement retailer and a trade partner of choice, life at Mitre 10 is fast-paced and offers huge scope. We offer all you need, from foundation to fenceline.
As a Kiwi-owned business partnering with some of New Zealand's best-known brands, we are uniquely placed to retain the special, local family feel of a small business, with the support of national networks, infrastructure, systems, and training.

We are proud to offer our customers a shopping experience like no other in New Zealand's largest hardware retail store, Mitre 10 MEGA Albany, as well as in New Lynn, Warkworth, Whangaparaoa, and Silverdale, which also boast Columbus Coffee shops. We also have a Distribution Centre and own our own Frame and Truss Manufacturing Plant.
