Its products are 100 per cent made in Germany with all production built into a fully-integrated value chain based at the Kaldewei headquarters in the Westphalian town of Ahlen. The superior quality and unmistakeable style is evident in every Kaldewei product, from mixing the enamel and steel forming through to the finishing with Kaldewei enamel.
Kaldewei now boasts more than 700 employees worldwide and the company is represented in more than 80 countries. International sales make up more than 50 per cent of its total turnover. The family-owned company is now run by the fourth generation of the Kaldewei family.
Kaldewei steel enamel is a superior material that combines robust steel and tough glass to form an inseparable bond harnessing the strengths of each material. Steel signifies strength and optimum rigidity while glass is highly resistant to abrasion and chemical or thermal stress, making the combination perfect for premium bathroom solutions. Kaldewei is the only bathroom manufacturer to produce its own enamel which is fired in the most advanced furnaces of their kind. The special formula bonds with high-quality steel to produce a material that is unique and inherently, “fit-for-purpose”.
Consistently pushing the boundaries, Kaldewei has refined and optimised the formula and manufacturing processes over the four generations to ensure bathroom designers around the world can trust in the superior properties of this material.
Kaldewei has won more than 150 design awards worldwide including the Red Dot Design Award, Plus X Award, Iconic Awards, Interior Innovation Award and iF Product Design Award making Kaldewei one of the most acclaimed bathroom manufacturers in the world. In addition to the design development carried out at the Kaldewei Design Centre, the company also partners with renowned design firms such as Sottsass Associati, Phoenix Design, Studio Aisslinger and designers Arik Levy and Anke Salomon.
Committed to environmentally-friendly practices and procedures in manufacture, packaging, transport and disposal, Kaldewei was the first bathroom manufacturer to be certified sustainable to ISO 14025 by the Germany Institute of Building and the Environment. All Kaldewei products made from Kaldewei steel enamel can be fully recycled at the end of their lives.
