Geberit’s growth
Geberit expanded its operations in the early 20th century, becoming known for its innovative plumbing solutions. In the 1920s, the company introduced a range of sewer and drainage systems.
In the post-WWII period, Geberit began to grow significantly. The company embraced emerging technologies in construction and plumbing. By the 1950s, Geberit had already established itself as a leader in Switzerland’s plumbing and sanitary industry.
Product Innovation
In a span of just 30 years (the 1960s to the 1990s), Geberit introduced a revolutionary ceramic sanitary system, and this aided us in becoming a leader in the plumbing industry. We continued to develop advanced products such as flush plates, concealed cisterns, and modular bathroom systems. By the 1990s, Geberit had already started to set its footprints globally in both the US and Europe.
Geberit Technology and Sustainability
In the fast-paced industry of construction where technology has become almost impossible to ignore, Geberit has strived to develop a technological muscle and to be the pioneer of tech-savvy services and products that ensure convenience, provide a user-friendly nature and durability in years to come. Over the years, Geberit has tapped into the development and usage of apps such as the Geberit Proplanner that enables plumbers to digitally plan installations and to generate installation solutions through just a touch of a button.
We have continuously emphasized sustainability in our product development, in doing so, water-saving products such as dual-flush toilets, energy-efficient systems, and smart bathroom products. We also focus on circular economy principles in our product life cycle.

Geberit expanded its operations into Southern Africa to provide the very same innovative bathroom and plumbing solutions, focusing on efficiency, sustainability, and advanced design to the African landscape.
