It will give improved future job security for all and access to a world-leading engineering Group, which can only enhance the services we provide to our customers."

Both Stephen and Jamie will remain as Directors and are looking forward to a long and successful relationship with RPM. This means business as usual for Kemtile Ltd, including its long-standing relationships with existing customers, flooring manufacturers and other trusted product suppliers from across Europe.
