The Hira Company Ltd (incorporating Texet Sales Ltd) is a family-owned UK company based in Manchester, England[1] specialising in the import and distribution of consumables.

[2] Their subsidiary Texet was founded in the 1970s[3] and focuses on calculators and electronic gadgets.

It was partly responsible for driving Sinclair out of the pocket calculator market,[4] often with devices manufactured in Far Eastern countries such as Hong Kong and South Korea.

[5] The company still sells calculators and similar devices under the Texet name and- as of 2006[update]- claimed to have 26% of the UK calculator market.
