Franz Joseph Schütte sanitary products

Franz Joseph Schütte GmbH is a prominent German specialist in the sanitary and kitchen fixture industry. Founded in 1976 by the namesake Franz Joseph Schütte, the company initially focused on international trade before transitioning into a plumbing and faucet specialist in the mid-1980s. Today, it operates as a central entity within the Schütte Group, which includes other established brands like Kirchhoff, Eisl, and the premium 'Wasserwerk' line.

While the company maintains its headquarters and primary logistics hub in Wallenhorst, Germany, its manufacturing footprint is global. Production takes place in various regions worldwide according to German engineering standards and patents, with specific premium lines like 'Wasserwerk' being manufactured directly in Germany. High-volume components and additional ranges are produced through a network of international manufacturing sites and strategic partnerships in Europe and Asia, including hubs in Hong Kong and Turkey.
