Redland plc was a leading British building materials business. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
History
The company can trace its origins back to the Redhill Tile Company, which was a manufacturer of concrete tiles that was established in 1919.[1]
During 1946, the company changed its name to Redland Tiles.[1] In 1954, the firm expanded into Germany via its acquisition of a minority interest in Braas, a building materials business based in Heusenstamm.[1] One year later, Redland Tiles was listed for the first time on the London Stock Exchange.[1]
