Project Epsomite is a group of European companies which specialise in the manufacturing, supply, installation and distribution of handmade ceramic roofing materials.
Artisanal production methods are retained to ensure the products’ durability and aesthetics, with stringent quality assurance processes in place. The group manufactures and retails own-brand products, as well as those sold through global brands.
Coveted restoration services for ceramic building materials are facilitated by the highly skilled in-house team, with the most appropriate techniques used to craft an accurate reproduction of an original item. This service has been used on residential dwellings, buildings of cultural and historical significance, and churches in Europe.
Our clients are offering the group for sale to realise the assured value of the existing companies, while facilitating continued expansion under the impetus of new ownership.
