From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated in 1925 under its former name, Armstrong Cork Company Limited, and is based in Gateshead where it operates from a long-leasehold property and manufactures acoustic ceiling and wall solutions.
The Company employed 163 members of staff as at the date of our appointment as Joint Administrators.
The Group was acquired by Knauf International GmbH (‘Knauf’) in 2019 but due to European Commission competition requirements Knauf had to subsequently divest the Company and its subsidiary (Worthington Armstrong U.K. Limited) (now Zentia Profiles) in early 2020.
