110-year-old company Johnson Tiles has ceased operations in South Africa, which has placed JSE-listed Italtile and the larger South African tile industry under pressure.
Johnson Tiles was a division of Norcros SA Proprietary Limited, a leading glazed ceramic wall and floor tiles manufacturer, that forms part of the UK-based Norcros group.
It was one of the largest manufacturers of ceramic tiles, with production facilities based in Olifantsfontein, Johannesburg.
