Premium shower enclosure brand marks a quarter century in the bathroom industry with continued commitment to excellence
This year marks the 25th anniversary of MERLYN, the award-winning showering brand renowned for its beautifully designed, high-performing enclosures. Founded in Kilkenny, Ireland in 2000 by Michael Hoyne, MERLYN has grown to become a trusted name in premium bathroom solutions across the UK, Ireland and internationally.
Now part of Norcros PLC, MERLYN continues to operate with its original leadership team under CEO Charlie Soden and retains its proud design and operational base in Kilkenny. With over 120 employees across Ireland, the UK and Globally, MERLYN is known in the industry for setting new standards in both engineering and aesthetics, a reputation best illustrated by the cutting-edge Arysto X range, which redefines frameless showering with its minimalist lines, ultra-clear glass and undisputed luxury.
“As we celebrate 25 years, we remain committed to our customers, our partners and the pursuit of excellence in everything we do,” says Charlie Soden, CEO. “This milestone is about looking back at our achievements and looking ahead to an exciting future of continued growth, innovation and purpose”.
MERLYN is one of only a handful of bathroom brands to now offer a lifetime guarantee across its entire product range, a decision made to reflect the confidence the company has in its craftsmanship, and to reassure trade and retail partners of the long-term value in recommending MERLYN products.
With a new era of product development and design investment under way, 2025 looks set to be a defining year for MERLYN and its network of retailers, installers, and specifiers. The MERLYN team look forward to celebrating this fantastic achievement in June with a Company Update followed by BBQ Party and Awards.
