Despite their popularity today, roof tiles did not play a significant part in the history of pitched roofing until Owen Aisher founded the Marley Tile Company in 1924.
After the First World War, roofing materials were in short supply, so in true entrepreneurial spirit, Owen bought one of the early Winget press machines and began making his own tiles. Little did he know that he would be responsible for transforming the roof tile industry in Britain both then and also for years to come.
Innovation stands at the forefront of their strategy. Whether developing roofing products and systems to provide solutions for the ever-evolving standards and legislations that we see today, to investing in their digital and service offering, ensuring the specification and installation of their systems are more efficient and reliable than ever.
At Marley, they are proud of their history and to this day they continue in the same spirit as they strive to advance the whole industry, through innovation and cutting edge roofing product design and technology.
