Instarmac, the manufacturer of materials for the tiling and commercial flooring sectors, has bought the Granfix brand. Granfix will be positioned alongside Instarmac's Ultra Tile brand.

Granfix Products Ltd has been manufacturing wall and floor tile adhesives, finishes, cleaning and maintenance products for wall and floor tiles since 1992. Production of all Granfix products will transfer to Instarmac’s production plant based in Tamworth, Staffordshire.

Phil Staniforth and his team from Granfix will be joining Instarmac in January.

Phil, who will become General Manager for Granfix, said: "I am thrilled. Our companies share many common values and attributes and I am confident we will produce even greater opportunities for our partners."

Paul Butcher, Sales Director at Instarmac, says: "We are delighted to complete the acquisition of Granfix. We are committed to build on the reputation of the Granfix brand and look forward to developing and introducing product innovation to this sector."
