Grohe plumbing fixtures

Grohe is a globally recognized German brand specializing in premium sanitary fittings and plumbing fixtures. Founded in Hemer, Germany, in 1936 by Friedrich Grohe, the company established itself as a leader in innovation and design within the kitchen and bathroom industry. Historically, Grohe has maintained a strong manufacturing presence in Germany, though it has expanded its production footprint to include facilities in Portugal, Thailand, and other regions to serve the global market.

In 2014, Grohe underwent a significant change in ownership when it was acquired by the LIXIL Group, a Japanese multinational specializing in building materials and housing equipment. Today, Grohe operates as a key premium brand under the LIXIL portfolio. While its design and engineering headquarters remain rooted in Germany, the brand benefits from the global scale and financial backing of its Japanese parent company, LIXIL Corporation.
