Geberit

About the Geberit Brand

The history of the Geberit brand dates back to 1874, when the first plumbing company was founded in Rapperswil, Switzerland, by Caspar Melchior Albert Gebert. The first wooden toilet cistern with lead fittings, called Phoenix, was revolutionary and achieved great success not only in Switzerland. In the 1930s, the company became a pioneer in the use of plastic parts in the sanitary industry, and it introduced another revolutionary solution in 1952, when it presented the first entirely plastic toilet cistern.

Today, the company has built a position as a leader in the European sanitary technology market, with a global presence and billion-euro revenues.

Geberit has 35 production plants, 6 of which are overseas. It employs 12,000 people in more than 50 countries worldwide. The company’s headquarters are located in Switzerland. In the Czech market, the Geberit Group portfolio includes the brands Geberit, Keramag, and Kolo.

Geberit installation frames as well as the brand’s flush plates are used daily by millions of customers around the world. However, Geberit also offers customers basin taps, bathroom furniture, mirrors, and other bathroom equipment.
