Armitage Shanks is a long-established British sanitary-ware and bathroom fixture brand dating back to 1817, specializing in products such as toilets, basins, urinals, taps, baths, and commercial washroom fittings for both public and residential sectors. Through several mergers and ownership changes—including a 1969 merger and later acquisitions—the brand now forms part of the Villeroy & Boch Group, and continues to serve UK and global commercial washroom markets, with a focus on durability, hygiene, accessibility, and water-efficiency solutions.
