Historical Background
Marley Tile Company was founded in 1924 in Riverhead, near Sevenoaks in Kent. The company pioneered mass production of concrete roof tiles in Britain and became so dominant that the trade name "Marley tile" is still used generically in the roofing industry. Marley plc was acquired by Etex Group in 1996. The brand's drainage and plumbing division trades separately as Marley Plumbing & Drainage, each holding distinct trademark registrations.
