CHURCHILL CHINA plc

("Churchill China" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Purchase of certain assets from Dudson Holdings Limited (in Administration)

Churchill China plc (AIM: CHH), the manufacturer of innovative performance ceramic products serving hospitality markets worldwide, has purchased certain intangible and tangible assets from Dudson Holdings Limited and Dudson Limited (both in Administration) ("Dudson") for a total consideration of £2.1 million, funded from the Group's existing cash resources.  The purchase does not include the Dudson group operating businesses.

£1.5 million of the consideration is for the Dudson brand and for intellectual property in respect of two of Dudson's product ranges, 'Harvest' and 'Evo'.  Dudson is a long established manufacturer of performance vitrified ceramic tableware based in Stoke on Trent and has operated in similar markets to Churchill. Certain plant and equipment has also been purchased for £0.6 million.

The assets purchased are complementary to our existing strategic plan and will allow Churchill to further extend its offering of differentiated added value products.
