Armitage Shanks

For a long time the name Armitage Shanks has been associated with quality bathrooms. They've been at the forefront in design and manufacture of quality products for the bathroom and washroom. Their vast range of quality bathroom fittings is astounding with many becoming the mainstay of installers throughout the commercial, private and public domains. From Doc M packages through to individual and unique pieces, Armitage Shanks has universal appeal and has stood the test of time.

The company began life as Armitage Sanitaryware in around 1850 when they first became involved in the manufacture of sanitary ware at a time when pumped water was virtually unknown. They continued to consolidate their position in the market when they merged in 1969 with one of their main competitors, Shanks Holdings, established at Barrhead near Glasgow in 1878. This produced the now famous name of Armitage Shanks to become one of the largest makers of sanitaryware in the UK.
