We invented the granite sink in 1979.
ABOUT US
And we’ve been constantly reinventing it and
ourselves ever since. The result is more than
200 sink models in as many as 40 colours. We
have more than 90 patents and 80% of sinks
made around the world are produced on the
basis of our methods. But there’s one thing we
kept to ourselves: the special combination of our
5THE COMPANY
products themselves – handmade in Germany –
and our international trend scouting activities.
We don’t follow a strategy, we follow our intuition.
And what that means for us in figures is: 50%
growth, 25% global market share, 100% pioneering
spirit. We know that the road ahead of us is
long: It will continue to take us out of our com-
fort zone and thrust us headlong into the world
of colour. With new and unseen ideas and good
old, tried-and-trusted craftsmanship.
