Dornbracht Tradition

We are a company with visions and roots. Dornbracht has evolved from a family firm established several decades ago into the market leader for high-quality bathroom fittings and accessories. Quality, functionality and good design are the cornerstones of the corporate philosophy that suitably encapsulates our aspirations. Aspirations that have brought us notable successes and serve as a daily challenge to our company. Dornbracht celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2000 and now enjoys the position of market leader in many countries worldwide. Our product range also includes fittings and accessories for kitchens, as well as Dornbracht Interiors®, a series of exclusive designer furniture and accessories.

Dornbracht Philosophy

Clear, pure, flowing water. The point of departure of our company's activities. And the focal point of our product design work. All fittings and accessories that bear the name Dornbracht place a clear and unmistakable emphasis on function. Their materials and finish are of the highest quality. And their pioneering design is constantly being refined.

Only those who are prepared to change will stay ahead. This time-honoured principle is applicable in equal measure to Dornbracht the company and to Dornbracht's products.

Dornbracht boasts a corporate culture characterised by an atmosphere of openness that promotes and rewards employee motivation, the delegation of responsibility, quality awareness, dedication, attentiveness to the product, and a service attitude.

Dornbracht Design

Assuming the basic principle is right, bright ideas are what make all the difference. Good design has therefore been central to our philosophy for many years. Our products are not merely decorative, they are an expression of a distinctive bathroom culture. Fittings and accessories of every stylistic direction, from traditional to progressive, are manufactured with superb craftsmanship. Numerous national and international design distinctions and awards have served to endorse our approach.

Craftsmanship

Our fittings moreover demonstrate attention to detail and the appeal of all-round craftsmanship. This craft tradition has engendered an aspiration that continues to flourish: to achieve superb standards of form, function and fabrication as the basis of every product design.

50 Years Dornbracht

Dornbracht, the fittings manufacturer, has celebrated in the year 2000 its 50th anniversary. This area focuses on the past, present and future. It describes the personal, technical and artistic qualities of a company which has always looked forward.
The invention of Dornbracht's extensible spout in 1950 laid the foundations for the company's success. Luxury fittings subsequently took the international market by storm. The introduction of high-class design to the bathroom shaped a whole new market segment.

Today and in the years to come, the goal is to open new areas and set the bathroom free from its architectural limitations. The following texts concentrate on the quality not only of the products, but also in the minds at Dornbracht, thinking and developing, communicating and dealing with art and culture. Work at Dornbracht thrives on this consciousness. Just as it will in the future.
