Elgin Butler Co. Acquires Trikeenan Tileworks

Austin, TX, Sept. 16, 2011 -- Elgin Butler Co. has acquired Trikeenan Tileworks, a manufacturer of art tile, ceramic tile and glazed thin-brick with plants in New Hampshire and New York.

Elgin Butler is a manufacturer of structural tile based in Austin, Texas.

Also, Elgin Butler is the owner of McIntyre Tile, an art-tile manufacturer based in California.

After a full year of protection from its creditors under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, Trikeenan will successfully emerge from bankruptcy court protection and continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Elgin Butler.

On Aug. 30, 2010, after the landlord of Trikeenan's New York production facility filed an action to evict Trikeenan from the premises for non-payment of rent, the company filed for protection from its creditors rather than face liquidation of that facility and the loss of a majority of its production capacity.
