In 2019, the designer bathroom manufacturer was able to continue the growth trend of previous years with new records in terms of revenue, operating result, and net income. Despite low global economic growth, the Group’s total revenues were up by 4.8% (€486.8 million) at year end. The company with a workforce of 6,200 can thus position itself successfully worldwide.

The perfect combination of technology and design has proven as drivers of growth. The introduction of a new SensoWash® generation produced especially dynamic growth in the shower-toilet segment. The SensoWash® Starck f combines iconic design with maximum comfort and was met with an immediate and lasting positive response.

Duravit also enjoyed gains in other product areas. Two new high-end series developed in collaboration with sieger design again raised the bar for exclusive bathroom design. The faucet business did extremely well and the sanitary ceramics business was also up.

On 1 July 2020, Stephan Patrick Tahy took on the role of Duravit CEO.
