Hornbach

Hornbach Baumarkt AG is a German DIY-store chain offering home improvement and do-it-yourself goods. In the 2020/2021 financial year, the Hornbach Baumarkt Group generated sales of Euro 5.1 billion.The Hornbach Baumarkt Group currently operates a total of 161 DIY megastores with garden centers and online stores in nine European countries, of which 96 stores are located in Germany, as well as two specialist stores for hard flooring in Germany.

Until March 2014, it was 21% owned by Kingfisher plc, a UK company, who also own the B&Q and Castorama DIY chains. Kingfisher sold off the interests as it was planning expansion in new markets that would be in direct competition with Hornbach. Kingfisher has since launched its Screwfix stores in Germany and Brico Dépôt stores in Romania, where Hornbach operates.
