Mastering Water
Water has three basic functions: it is vital for nutrition, it is used for personal hygiene and cleaning, and it moves substances and materials as a means of transportation. These applications correspond to the flow of water within a building and include potable water supply, use and drainage.
Geberit is the only company that covers all three areas in the building. The products in front of and behind the wall are most effective when they are used together in perfect harmony as a system.
Geberit understands hydraulics: The company knows how to direct and control the flow of water in a building in a targeted manner and use its energy optimally. The water flow is optimised and channelled safely and efficiently through pipes and sanitary products, where it is used reliably and sparingly.
Thanks to technical know-how and functional design, Geberit makes the handling of water simple, safe and efficient – this is “Mastering Water”.
Over 150 years of Geberit Our success story
The Geberit story dates back to 1874, when it started as a one-man operation in the old town of Rapperswil, Switzerland. Some 30 years later, company founder Albert Gebert developed a wooden cistern lined with lead. The company gained further momentum with the groundbreaking invention of the first plastic cistern in 1952, followed by the concealed cistern in 1964.
What started out as a modest family business has since emerged as the European market leader for sanitary products. Our innovative, high-quality products for sanitary technology and the bathroom continue to set new standards: then, now and in the future.
