Grohe Faucets and Fittings

Grohe is a globally recognized leader in the sanitary fittings industry, renowned for its 'Pure Freude an Wasser' (Pure Joy of Water) philosophy. Founded in 1936 by Friedrich Grohe in Hemer, Germany, the brand has built a legacy of precision engineering, award-winning design, and sustainable water solutions. Initially starting as a family-owned metal workshop, it expanded rapidly through the 20th century to become one of the world's premier manufacturers of premium bathroom and kitchen faucets, shower systems, and smart water management products.

While the brand maintains deep roots in German craftsmanship with its 'Made in Germany' seal for high-end product lines, its manufacturing footprint is truly international. Grohe operates a global production network with major factories in Hemer, Lahr, and Porta Westfalica (Germany), as well as significant facilities in Albergaria, Portugal, Klaeng, Thailand, and Jiangmen, China. This allows them to maintain high quality standards while serving diverse global markets efficiently.

In 2014, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when it was acquired by the LIXIL Group Corporation, a Japanese conglomerate specializing in building materials and housing equipment. Today, Grohe operates as an independent brand under the LIXIL Water Technology (LWT) umbrella, alongside other famous names like American Standard. This partnership has allowed Grohe to leverage LIXIL's extensive R&D capabilities while maintaining its distinct identity as a luxury European fittings brand.
