Our Story
In 1924, the Aisher family founded Marley, which they developed into a group of innovative manufacturing and retail businesses in the concrete building materials, plastics, automotive components, and retail industries.
Over 75 years, the family expanded the business to incorporate more than 13,000 workers in 59 countries.
Following Sir Owen Aisher’s death, the family and Kinled Holding Limited sold their participation when the company was acquired for $600M in 1999
