About Us
Get to Know ROK.
Practical tools and accessories for the people who build, fix and maintain things every day — from a family that has been behind a hardware counter for generations.
Who We Are
Fifty Years of Practical Products.
ROK is the tool brand of Holland Imports Inc., a family-owned Canadian wholesaler that has spent more than fifty years putting dependable products in the hands of Canadians.
Today that means everything a job or a weekend project calls for: hand tools and power tool accessories, striking tools, measuring and layout tools, gloves, traffic safety and PPE, and magnets — carried by hardware stores and building supply retailers from coast to coast.
Our Roots
It Started Behind a Hardware Counter.
In the 1920s, C.G. Punjani opened a general store in Kisumu, Kenya, supplying farms and families with the tools and everyday goods that kept land productive. His motto — people with service — is still the simplest description of how we work.
In the early 1970s the family moved to Vancouver, started again behind the counter of a small hardware store, and eventually bought it. Some days the till took in less than forty dollars. They kept going.
Our Story
From One Counter to Canadian Job Sites.
1920s
A Family Store
C.G. Punjani opens a general store in Kisumu, Kenya, stocking the tools, seed and everyday essentials farms and rural crews counted on. His motto: people with service.
1970s
Roots in Canada
The Punjani family settles in Coquitlam, BC and takes over a neighbourhood hardware store — the counter where everything that followed got started.
1973
Holland Imports Inc.
Seeing a gap for quality products at fair prices, the family begins importing directly and Holland Imports is born.

Our Vision
More Canadians, Getting It Done.
A first deck. A bathroom reno. A jobsite that's finally wrapped. We want the tools in between to be the easy part — dependable, well-priced and on the shelf when the work starts.
