100 YEARS OUR GLOBAL

of family innovation PRESENCE WHAT CSR MEANS TO US

By providing solutions to buildings across
the world, DELABIE saves millions of kWh
3
of electricity and m of water year after year.
The DELABIE story started in 1928, when Georges Delabie
took over a foundry in Friville-Escarbotin, Picardy, France.
From the start, our aim was clear: reduce water waste
and offer sustainable solutions.

Almost a century later, DELABIE remains 100% family-run,
having become the European market leader in its sector,
exporting over 2,000 products to over 90 countries. Each
generation has contributed to building a business com-
mitted to quality. Since the 80s, with the launch of the first
time flow taps, innovation has been at the heart of our
strategy. Our current products, such as direct flush WCs
and stainless steel sanitaryware, are proof of our con-
stant quest for improvement. Each innovation targets
our single objective: to align performance, safety and
durability.
DELABIE is also a business rooted in Picardy. From our
historic headquarters in Friville, we have developed sub-
ject-specific expertise and are committed to a socially
and environmentally responsible business model. As we
approach our 100th anniversary, our 450-person busi-
ness continues to move forwards, carried by a new gen-
eration, committed to our founding values.
Through our acquisition of KWC Professional in 2025, we
have become the uncontested European market leader
in sanitaryware for public and commercial places.
