When LAUFEN was founded in Switzerland in 1892, sanitary conditions were well below today's standards - standards to which LAUFEN, the only sanitary porcelain manufacturer producing exclusively in Europe, contributed. LAUFEN's core competence is its knowledge in the area of sanitary ware manufacturing. Over 125 years, the LAUFEN brand has been using the oldest malleable material known to man to make innovative sanitary products in state-of-the-art plants with legendary Swiss precision. Knowledge of the bathroom as a whole developed from the competence of LAUFEN in ceramics manufacturing, and sophisticated design.
