At Okarno, we help trade customers, including builders’ merchants, decorators’ centres, and DIY retailers, grow their businesses by offering a flexible way to source products. As a trusted fulfilment and supply chain partner to leading construction brands, we deliver solutions that simplify, streamline, and make sourcing more customer-focused.
Okarno celebrates its 90th anniversary alongside its parent company, Saint-Gobain, marking a legacy of innovation, sustainability, and service. Formerly Artex, Okarno has evolved into a key distributor of top UK construction brands. Recent green initiatives include biomass heating, HVO-fuelled fleets, and biodiversity projects. With a focus on customer support and sustainable delivery, Okarno continues to lead in construction supply, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050.
As you may well have heard, we have changed our name from Artex Ltd to Okarno. But don't worry - we're still that same great business with the same great people.
Our name change has been picked up by various outlets.
