About MacLean International Group

Starting out as John MacLean & Sons, the MacLean International Group boasts an established and successful history dates back to 1974, when we established ourselves as key suppliers of hazardous area electrical products to the Oil and Gas industry in the North Sea.

Since that time, we have evolved into The MacLean Electrical Group and our name became synonymous with delivering results and providing solutions globally to the oil & gas, petrochemical, renewable energy, process, power & utilities, mining, marine, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors.

In 2003, the acquisition of the UK entity of North Sea Cables, a major international cable distributor complimented our electrical offering enabling us to offer a truly combined electrical and cable package to industry. This arm of our business was subsequently changed to ‘Noskab’ in 2004, to represent the Cable division within MacLean Electrical.

In 2006, the acquisition of J T Day Pty Ltd in Australia saw the group expand not only in commercial expertise, technical support and supply chain experience but also in global reach – and with dedicated, purpose-built warehouse facilities throughout the UK and Australia, we could carry vast inventory to fulfil customer orders, long term material supply agreements and support major international projects.

Acquired in 2015 by DNOW, a leading global supplier of energy and industrial products, solutions and engineered equipment packages, with a legacy of over 160 years from a network of locations spanning more than 15 countries, we became part of a world-wide supply chain company with extensive facilities around the world.

As our business has expanded, so too have our specialist business divisions and 2021 marks the year of our company rebrand to MacLean International Group. This represents a move from a commodity-specific name as we continue to offer an enhanced integration model, supplying multiple commodities to enhance our supply chain offering and aligns our business more closely with our parent company, future markets and customer needs.

MacLean International Group has dedicated distribution centres in the UK and Australia which is complemented by our parent company network of store locations in 20 countries around the world.

We operate 4 business divisions:

• MacLean Electrical - industrial & hazardous area electrical equipment and cable solutions
• MacLean Industrial & Safety - MRO, Tools, Safety, PPE and working at height equipment
• MacLean Valves - specialist valves and actuation including our full Total Valve Solutions (TVS) offering
• MacLean Pumps - specialist pumps and artificial lift solutions

MacLean International has an impressive history of supplying solutions throughout all sectors of the oil and gas industry – from upstream drilling and completion, exploration and production, midstream infrastructure development to downstream petrochemical and petroleum refining – as well as renewable energy, chemical processing, mining, utilities and industrial operations.
