Duravit is a globally recognized manufacturer of designer bathrooms and sanitary ceramics. The brand's history dates back to 1817 when Georg Friedrich Horn founded an earthenware factory in Hornberg, Germany. Originally focused on crockery, the company shifted its focus to sanitary porcelain in the mid-20th century, officially adopting the brand name Duravit in 1956. Over the decades, it has evolved from a regional manufacturer into an international design leader, collaborating with world-renowned designers like Philippe Starck to redefine modern bathroom aesthetics.

Today, Duravit AG operates as a major international corporation with a footprint in over 130 countries. While its spiritual and corporate home remains in Hornberg, within Germany's Black Forest, its manufacturing is truly global. The company maintains 11 production plants across the world, including facilities in Germany (Hornberg, Meissen, and Schenkenzell), France, Egypt, China, Tunisia, India, and a recently established climate-neutral facility in Canada. This diverse manufacturing network allows Duravit to supply high-quality bathroom furniture, ceramics, and wellness systems to a global market while maintaining strict quality control and craftsmanship standards.
