Innovative power has been an integral part of our company's character for over 250 years. We have repeatedly worked on optimising the ceramic material, production processes and functionality, and have created new product solutions. As a result new horizons have been opened up in terms of product aesthetics.

In recent years, we have been able to present numerous technical innovations which have led to a high degree of optimisation in the utility value of our products: Some examples are the easy-care ceramic finish, "CeramicPlus", the "AquaReduct" water-saving module for WC flushing,  the concealed overflow which eliminates the need for unsightly overflow holes and "Magic Basin", a washbasin whose new sensor system replaces tap fittings. The problem of toilet odours is solved by the "PurAir" WC, the first toilet with an integrated system for actively eliminating odours . Thanks to the modular prefabricated bathroom concept "e-motion", commercial bathrooms can be installed in no time at all – with a minimum of noise, dirt and dust pollution.

Using our patented material "Quaryl" we are able to produce baths and shower trays in completely new designs. As its name suggests, the "Light Tile" introduces the element of light into interior design in the form of a tile. By integrating light-emitting diodes into high-quality tiles, the tile itself becomes a source of light which can be used as an exclusive design element or as a guidance system to light the way.

We were one of the first companies in the design field to systematically introduce the pattern and colour concept "Mix & Match" into all tableware lifestyles. Furthermore, we received the "2004 German Business Innovation Award" both for our exciting tableware design "NewWave Caffè" and the production technique which was developed specially to handle its asymmetrical shape.
