The company has served the Portuguese market for over twenty-five years and during that time has also built up a worldwide reputation and customer base.
Continuous investment in manufacturing technology has kept them right at the very forefront of the terracotta cladding market.
We were very impressed by what they had to offer".
He added: "Soladrilho, in turn, has seen how successfully we have developed the ceramic granite rainscreen market here in the UK over the past decade with Sureclad.
We have been selected to take Soladrilho 'Face' terracotta cladding forward in this country because of our longstanding reputation in the ceramics industry, our ventilated rainscreen expertise and experience, our extensive prefabrication facilities and our strong established links with the architectural and contractor markets".
