Armac Martin is a British brass hardware manufacturer based in Birmingham, England.
It was Harold McGrail, a specialist in reproduction brass furniture fittings, who started our story in 1929. We’re proud that our fourth-generation family business is still designing and manufacturing luxury solid brass and bronze cabinet hardware and interior accessories in our home city, 97 years later.
Luxury cabinet hardware is at our core, but we’re continuously expanding our portfolio to include complementary interior accessories. We use a blend of traditional British craftsmanship and modern precision engineering to create pieces loved and used by interior designers, architects, and home owners around the world.
We always have, and we always will, create original, authentic designs, hand-finishing and polishing every piece.
How we manufacture our cabinet hardware and accessories
As a Birmingham brass manufacturer, the magic happens at our factory in our home city.
Standing at 50,000 sq ft and with 90 craftspeople, we believe it’s British brass hardware manufacturing at its best.
We use skills and expertise passed down through our 97-year heritage, blending our knowledge and passion with the latest CNC machinery, tooling and programming to remain at the cutting edge of manufacturing.

"I’ve been specifying Armac Martin products for the past three years, and they have become a staple in my projects. Their hardware is beautifully British-made, with leading designs, exceptional quality, and a wide variety of finishes. The difference in a finished space is immediately noticeable — their products are luxurious and thoughtfully considered. Armac Martin hardware adds that final, considered touch that truly elevates a design — it’s the small details that make all the difference!"
Isobel Pover, Krantz Designs
"I greatly value my partnership with Armac Martin, as we share a mutual commitment to exceptional quality and timeless design. Every aspect of their work is meticulously considered, and I am incredibly proud to have launched our third collection together. Their team is a pleasure to work with, and visiting their factory in Birmingham was truly inspiring. Seeing each piece finished by hand reinforced the level of care, craftsmanship, and integrity that goes into everything they produce, while supporting an industry that remains vitally important to British manufacturing."
Sophie Paterson, Founder of Sophie Paterson Interiors
“Armac Martin’s aged brass finish is extraordinarily beautiful. It has the colour and patina of a well-worn brass from period homes. The Bromwich collection is elegant in its simplicity, whilst the Cotswold collection is understated and graceful.”
Jean Stoffer, Founder of Stoffer Home, Stoffer Fine Cabinetry, and Stoffer Design
“We chose Armac Martin for our Holliday Home project as they checked all the boxes for us. Hardware can be one of the most utilised materials in a home, so the quality must align. Second, the finish selection is above all and we love having that option and versatility. And last but certainly not least, the shape and form of them were beautiful, with the nod to traditional forms we were after!
There’s nothing better for a creative than when given freedom. The clients appreciated and valued form and function, which made Armac Martin the perfect hardware for this home!”
Whittney Parkinson, Founder of Whittney Parkinson Design
“I truly love working with Armac Martin’s hardware, the weight and quality of each piece is immediately noticeable. There’s a classic look that I can always rely on, and the timelessness of their materials never ceases to impress me. My personal favorite finish is Aged Brass (BEL), which I’ve used in my own kitchen. It remains a true favorite of mine for Armac Martin handles.
For me, hardware in a kitchen is like jewellery, it’s the finishing touch that brings everything together. I love mixing different models, combining a round knob with a longer handle for appliances, pairing it with a latch for cabinets, or matching it with a cup pull. This approach adds character and elegance to the overall design.
It’s always such a joy to incorporate these products into my projects. I am never disappointed, they bring an immediate sense of timelessness, charm, and craftsmanship. The handles feel substantial and clearly handmade, adding incredible value to my work.”
Audrée Kemp Bélange, Founder of AKB Design
