Pro S
With lots of sensitivity Peter Wirz brought about a systematic, production-optimised evolution of the PRO concept: Thanks to its slim silhouette and clearly-defined radii, the washbasin has a light and elegant, appearance. The deep bowl means that it’s also functionally appealing. The aesthetics of LAUFEN PRO S definitely take the range in the direction of LAUFEN’s premium design lines – while remaining affordable by all.
Behind the design: The New Classic
A symbiosis of design, quality and functionality
Over 130 years, the LAUFEN brand has been using the oldest malleable material known to man to make innovative sanitary products in state-of-the-art plants with legendary Swiss precision.
From humble beginnings to today’s global player
100 years ago, LAUFEN became the first Swiss manufacturer of sanitary ceramics, and to this day remains the only producer that manufactures exclusively in Europe.
Made in Europe
Manufactured exclusively in Europe LAUFEN products unite two major design trends: emotional Italian design from the south and the northern tradition of design precision and clarity.
World first innovation
After four years of development, the first electric tunnel kiln for sanitaryware has successfully started production using electricity from renewable sources.
Production excellence
LAUFEN's profound knowledge in manufacturing and dedication to the highest quality materials gives the ability to translate ideas into reality.
Sustainable commitments
LAUFEN’s sustainability strategy concentrates on innovations that drive the company towards circular processes. LAUFEN aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2045, through increased energy efficiency and the expansion of renewable energies.
