Supplying the businesses that build, make and maintain Britain.
EMS Group is a UK industrial supply group of thirteen specialist operating companies. Across rubber, safety, construction, hardware, plastics and hospitality, the Group holds more than £20 million of stock and delivers next working day to customers throughout the United Kingdom and overseas.
Trusted by organisations of national importance.
EMS Group brands supply the Ministry of Defence, NATO, the U.S. Air Force, Rolls-Royce, Royal Mail and UK government departments, and delivered for the London 2012 Games — alongside contractors, manufacturers, public bodies and facilities operators in every region of the United Kingdom. Every customer is served from the same group stockholding, to the same specifications and to the same service standards.
Specification integrity
Institutional and framework buyers purchase against standards and technical datasheets. Our brands quote to those specifications and supply to them, with documentation to match.
Public-sector procurement
Local authorities, NHS trusts, schools and government bodies buy on account, with purchase-order processing, VAT invoicing and documented delivery as standard.
Scale on demand
From a single cut-to-size order to a phased national programme, every requirement is fulfilled from the same group stockholding and distribution operation.
A group of specialists operating as one enterprise.
EMS Group is the trading group of Express Matting Services Ltd, a privately owned British industrial supply business established in 2009 and headquartered in Burnley, Lancashire. The Group trades through thirteen specialist brands across seven industry sectors, each with its own website, dedicated product expertise and its own customer base.
Behind every brand stands a single integrated operation: group purchasing, consolidated warehousing, national distribution and centralised finance. Customers gain the depth of a specialist together with the capacity, reliability and accountability of a group.
We serve construction, manufacturing, facilities management, hospitality and the public sector, in the United Kingdom and internationally — from single-item orders to scheduled contract supply.
