Facility

Quality by Device

Man and machine working together intelligently: our facility in Delbrück. Around 380 people at work, with some 160 of them involved manufacturing the enamelled titanium steel products. With the facilitation of huge steel presses and articulated robots. A veritable hive of activity, usually in several shifts.

Using its own forming technique since the 1970s, the company simply didn't have the money for an off-the-peg system — for mass-produced goods. So it opted for its own machine concept, universal and flexible, and stands by that choice to this day.

The forming technique enables production of some 35 million different model, size and colour combinations in the shortest possible time — to opt for design, for premium, and for baths that are made to measure. The company can also manufacture a single one-off item at any time.

The special deep-drawing process allows the titanium-finished steel sheets to flow into the mould slowly and precisely. The result is a strong almost uniform thickness that saves resources and is highly exclusive.

The manual work starts in the manufacturing facility and grinding shop. Anything that cannot be deep-drawn is shaped and sized by hand. Not a job that can be done by just anyone; it takes many years of experience. The welders and grinders work with absolute precision.

There's a powdery warmth in the enamelling works. In the robotic ballet, spray nozzles evenly apply the layers of enamel to the forms — in a precisely detailed choreography. The top and colour layers are applied in a wet-in-wet technique after the base glaze.

This production process, which has been perfected over decades, enables us to create spectacular forms that are also exceptionally resilient: 

Technical sophistication combined with perfect craftsmanship.

At our works, we also manufacture, by hand, exclusive special models ranging from special size to bathrooms for cruise ships The factory also serves us both as a design lab and as a field for experimenting with new ideas and developments. But above all, it is the loyalty of our staff that gives us the special freedom to think outside the box. Another reason why we love our entrepreneurial home so much.
