EXPERTISE
IN FAUCETS
SINCE 1854
Very aware of the power and significance
of water as an element, LAUFEN is
committed to true aesthetic beauty:
We give water a shape to enable it
to pamper body and soul.
CASTING SHOP
In 2007, ROCA acquired the oldest faucet
factory in Switzerland – Similor AG –
and since then has been a subsidiary of
LAUFEN. This has enabled the company
to complete its product range as a com-
plete bathroom provider. For the last 160
years, the employees have drawn their
inspiration from the element of water,
and their endless stream of innovations
turn bathroom faucets into an artwork
form.
MACHINING (CHIP-CUTTING) SHOP
FROM HOT IDEAS TO
COOL FAUCETS
GRINDING SHOP AND POLISHING SHOP
What takes place during the concept and
planning phases, and what often heats
heads to steaming point, gains its ultimate
expression at temperatures approaching
1000 degrees Celsius. Production is now
in progress, launching the history of a
new faucet. Beholding beauty at all times,
we accompany it from station to station,
until it achieves its ultimate form.
SURFACE TREATMENT SHOP
FUNCTION TESTS
And at the place where ultra-modern
machines reach the limits of their ca-
pabilities, that's where we encounter art
once again: in the faucet finishing shop.
Because pure craftsmanship is what
people want.
