Founded in 1928, Delabie is an Independent, family-owned business based in Friville, Picardy, the historical birthplace of French tap manufacturing.
European market leader in water controls and sanitary equipment for commercial and public places, DELABIE has strengthened its market position and expanded its offering by acquiring Chavonnet (French market leader in water controls for hospitals), Sogeprove (manufacturer of grab bars, shower seats and stainless steel hygienic accessories), Douglas (manufacturer of thermostatic mixing valves for commercial applications in the United Kingdom) and Kuhfuss (German manufacturer of stainless steel sanitary ware). These acquisitions have allowed Delabie to expand into other commercial markets and develop innovative products for public places such as nursing and care homes, schools, hotels and leisure centres. Delabie products are well known for their superior endurance, offering ergonomic designs, safety and total hygiene while continually striving to increase water savings. In 2012, Delabie opened its own foundry in Braga, Portugal, ensuring the quality and reliability of its products, and strengthening the company's manufacturing and service capabilities.
Delabie exports to more than 60 countries from its factory in France and through its worldwide subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, United Arab Emirates (Dubai) and China (Hong Kong).
