Pilkington's Group Plc was a UK-based manufacturer and supplier of wall and floor coverings and building materials.
The group had a history in ceramic tile manufacturing with the head office located on Rake Lane in Clifton Junction, near Manchester, England.
In the early 1900s, Pilkington's Lancastrian Pottery & Tiles was formed as a result of an amalgamation of the skills of William Burton and the company's team of artists and designers from Minton Hollins and Wedgwood.
Twice fired tiles were renowned for being superior in quality[citation needed] and this eventually overtook the pottery business to become the company's main production.
Quiligotti Terrazzo flooring is installed in a large number of UK supermarkets, shopping centres, railway stations and the London Underground.
