Villeroy & Boch Considers Kiln Closure at Armitage Shanks Site

UK: Villeroy & Boch Group has proposed the closure of one tunnel kiln at the Armitage Shanks facility in Staffordshire, a move that could affect around 100 employees. The proposal forms part of the company’s ongoing strategic realignment aimed at optimising operations, adjusting production capacity and supporting long-term competitiveness.

The consideration of this closure is linked to Villeroy & Boch’s broader review of its global manufacturing footprint. The company stated that the evaluation is intended to ensure efficiency and cost-competitiveness across its operations in an increasingly competitive market environment.
