Clayware company Naylor has completed the takeover of a company importing decorative plant pots from Spain and Portugal.

Naylor, which draws a large number of its employees from the Kirklees area, has acquired Limetree Ceramics, which becomes part of the Cawthorne-based firm’s Yorkshire Flowerpots division.

The division, which was set up in the 1980s, supplies British-made products with a lifetime guarantee against frost damage.

The Limetree acquisition follows Naylor’s 2013 purchase of Clough Mill, an importer of top quality Malaysian glazed pots.

Naylor is a fourth-generation manufacturer of ceramic products, having been founded as a clay pipe manufacturer in 1890.

Limetree was founded in 2009 and offers wall pots and planters with unique Mediterranean hand-decorated designs, displayed on distinctive wall pot display carts.
