The US cooperative Ace Hardware is to be the future wholesale supplier for Mitre 10 in New Zealand. 81 owner-operated hardware and DIY stores of differing sizes belong to this cooperative. Mitre 10 thus intends to expand its product offering via a single source of supply from the USA and at the same time improve its supply chain. According to Robert Moschorak, president of Ace Hardware International Holdings, Ace cannot imagine any partner that fits in better with Ace’s vision of increasing its international wholesale presence in New Zealand.
