Our History

KenBlack.ie is a proudly Irish, family-owned business with deep roots in the heart of the Midlands. Founded by Ken Black in Portlaoise in his early 20s, what started as a small local venture has grown into a trusted name in Laois, Carlow, Wexford, Kilkenny and nationwide. 

We are proud to be part of the fabric of Irish life, and for over 40 years, we’ve been a regular fixture at the National Ploughing Championships, connecting with farmers, tradespeople, and families who share our passion for quality and service. 

We believe in bringing the best to customers in Ireland. Our products are carefully selected to ensure the highest standards. Whether you're a new parent in search of a car seat, a friend looking for a Christmas board game or lucky kid coming in with pocket money, we're here to help.
