GROHE Sanitary Systems

GROHE is a globally recognized brand in the premium sanitary fittings market. Founded in 1936 by Friedrich Grohe in Hemer, Germany, it built a reputation for high-quality engineering and design excellence in bathroom and kitchen solutions. The company was instrumental in popularizing the single-lever mixer and has long been a leader in water technology.

Today, GROHE operates as a key part of the LIXIL Corporation's global portfolio. While it maintains its deep heritage and core engineering in Germany through its 'Made in Germany' label for specific high-end lines, the brand's production footprint is truly international. Manufacturing takes place across specialized plants in Germany, Portugal (for faucets), Thailand (for zinc-based fittings), and China (for various plumbing components).

Since 2014, the brand has been under the ultimate ownership of LIXIL, a Japanese giant in the building materials and housing equipment industry. This transition integrated GROHE into a wider network of brands like American Standard and INAX, focusing on sustainable water usage and innovative smart-home sanitary technology.
