In the future, Ace Hardware will be represented on the Mediterranean island of Malta. The American cooperation has concluded an exclusive distribution agreement with Do-It-Yourself Plus Outlets. This company was founded specifically for Ace’s market entry. Two further companies that are specialised in drywall, plastering and interior finishings in commercial and residential projects also belong to its parent company, KA Holdings. The new 1 200 m² Ace store will combine the Business-to-Business and Business-to-Consumer segments under one roof. The company is emphasising, amongst other things, the household goods department, which sets it apart from the other stores in Malta.
