Our Story
Owlett and Jaton were originally two separate companies, with Owlett dating back to 1947, and Jaton 1969.
Owlett were suppliers to the builder’s merchant trades, and Jaton (a spin-off from James and Tatton), established as an engineer’s merchant.
In 1997, Owlett was acquired, and the following year, Jaton, too. Soon after, the two companies were merged, creating Owlett-Jaton - the UK’s and Ireland’s largest wholesale supplier to the builders and engineers merchants sector.
