KEUCO

Quality with tradition

Premium design, consistent concepts, meticulous craftsmanship, perfect functionality and peak longevity are what set KEUCO apart. KEUCO can look back on a long tradition of manufacturing high-quality products for the bathroom. Since its founding in 1953, the company, which is still family-run today, has continuously expanded its range of products. Originally a specialist and market leader for premium bathroom accessories, today KEUCO views itself as a full provider of bathroom furnishings, with plants in Hemer, Gütersloh and Bünde in Germany. The full range encompasses a total of more than 6,000 different products in the categories of fittings, accessories, light and mirrors, mirror cabinets, washbasins and bathroom furniture. All KEUCO products are developed, designed, planned, and built in Germany and exported around the world from their headquarters in Hemer.

In 1953, Paul Keune, Hermann Bönner, Josef Himrich and Eduard Baron de Becker Remy founded "Paul Keune & Co. KG". From the trade name of Paul Keune & Co. KG today's name of KEUCO was created in 1984. The company is still owned today by the de Becker Remy, Himrich and König families. The principle shareholders are all family members of the company founders at that time.

Today, KEUCO is managed by Engelbert Himrich, Managing Partner, and Hartmut Dalheimer and Manfred Normann, Managing Directors.

Innovation

KEUCO products impress with excellent design, ease-of-use and technical sophistication. The goal of constant improvement is at the heart of every new development from the full provider of quality bathroom furnishings. Functional features that succeed in everyday use, such as the theft-proof toilet paper holder, extremely long-lasting LED light sources, or the IXMO fittings that combine multiple functions in the smallest of spaces, are characteristic of KEUCO in-house developments.

Design

Since its founding in 1953, design and function have always played a decisive role. Products must combine aesthetic form with sensible functionality - a standard that is systematically applied, from the idea right to the product. Collaboration with designers is a long tradition at KEUCO. Already back in the 70s KEUCO worked with Luigi Colani and produced accessories, lights and mirrors for the famous "Colani bathroom", the first complete bathroom, which was developed in collaboration with Villeroy & Boch and Grohe. Further notable designers such as Matteo Thun, Christoph Ingenhoven, Reiner Moll and Dominik Tesseraux followed.

It is the synergy that exists between innovation, passionate employees, "Made in Germany" production, and notable designers that allows KEUCO today to produce complete bathroom furnishings of such unparalleled quality.

Together with Dominik Tesseraux, several EDITIONS and complete bathroom sets have already been produced, which unite all product groups in an integral design: fittings and accessories, light and mirror, mirror cabinets, bathroom furniture and washbasins. This integral thinking, aimed at creating compatible, opulently-formed solutions for everything related to the washbasin, is reflected in the KEUCO EDITIONS.

Many of KEUCO's innovative bathroom furnishing concepts and products are recipients of notable design awards, such as the Red Dot Award, the Design Plus Award, the German Design Award, the IF Design Award and the Iconic Award.

Made in Germany

More than 93% of KEUCO's products are manufactured in Germany. The know-how the domestic plants possess with their highly-skilled employees is the foundation of our consistently quality-oriented production. Roughly 5% of the products are produced in the EU and roughly 2% in non-EU countries. To be able to compete in the long term, all KEUCO products are subject to the same high quality standards and are produced according to our specifications, subject to the strictest of quality assurance measures and controls.

Aside from our successful mass produced products, our production facilities are also capable of manufacturing tailor-made solutions for larger/commercial projects.

Uncompromising quality never goes out of Fashion

Important constants contributing to KEUCO's success include the contemporary, technically innovative products, the high standard of quality, a clear design orientation and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.

KEUCO products are the result of intensive development work, the use of premium materials and meticulous workmanship. To achieve optimum results, we combine high-tech manufacturing with painstaking hand crafting. For some of the items hand crafting is indispensible. Particularly when it comes to grinding certain geometries. The impressive thing about KEUCO products is their immaculate surfaces, maximum longevity and perfect functionality. Each product is examined individually before being shipped out.
Today, KEUCO products are produced in Germany and sold worldwide. In Hemer they work with brass and zinc casting. The perfect chrome finishes of the fittings and accessories are produced in modern electroplating facilities.
Aluminium and mirrors are made into deluxe mirror cabinets in Gütersloh and KEUCO's expertise for bathroom furniture can be found in Bünde.

"To achieve the high quality we strive for daily, the most important factor is our employees. This is especially true against the backdrop of the many different materials we use - from wood to aluminium, zinc casting and brass, right through to ABS and glass. Paired with their willingness to always go a step further and adopt new technologies, the know-how of the employees regarding the various materials gives us the extra scope we need to focus on design. And that makes it possible to design unique products."
