High-quality steel-enamel bathroom solutions are Kaldewei’s core competence. The company’s specially-developed melting process ensures flawless surfaces. The luxurious designs are used worldwide in the hospitality industry, in private homes as well as in healthcare. Custom product production is also possible in order to meet the requirements and wishes of customers.
With its enamelled shower areas, and bathtubs and washbasins made of steel-enamel, Kaldewei enables architects and planners to design bathrooms with perfectly coordinated materials, shapes and colours. “Kaldewei can be found in luxury and 5-star hotels around the world – clear confirmation of the unique quality of our products, because these establishments set the highest standards when it comes to their fixtures and furnishings”, says Roberto Martinez, Senior Vice President International Sales & Project Management. It is not only the hotel industry that appreciates the unique material properties of steel enamel. The housing industry, too, as well as health care organisations turn to the premium manufacturer when sourcing products. Developers in particular benefit from their durability and robustness. Even with intensive use and frequent tenant changes, replacement cycles are long, and they thus contribute significantly to cost optimisation. In addition to bathtubs and washbasins, the company also offers floor-level, enamelled shower areas, which on account of their good hygiene properties are suitable for use in hospitals and nursing homes. The joint-free surfaces of the enamelled shower areas are not susceptible to dirt and bacteria and can be cleaned quickly and easily.
Kaldewei is the only manufacturer worldwide to have developed the enamelling formulation itself and to produce the enamel in its own furnaces. Its philosophy is to deliberately keep the entire value chain in Ahlen in Germany, with everything, from the manufacture of the enamel, the shaping of the steel, and the enamel finishing taking place at one location. From Ahlen, the company exports its “Made in Germany” bathroom solutions throughout the whole world. As a pioneer that constantly pushes boundaries to improve on the existing, Kaldewei has over the past 100 years continuously refined and improved the special formulation and manufacturing process for its steel enamel. The feel of the steel enamel provides lasting value that is visible on a daily basis and constantly appreciated, resulting in bathroom solutions that last a lifetime.
