Armitage Shanks: a potted history
Established by Thomas Bond in Armitage, near Rugeley in Staffordshire (an area commonly known as “The Potteries”), the Armitage sanitary potter manufacture developed into one of the UK’s leading toilet makers. Meanwhile, Shanks Holdings Ltd based in Barrhead, Renfrewshire, were also making a name for themselves in sanitary ware. And, in 1969, the 2 companies merged, creating the now internationally recognised brand Armitage Shanks.
