Franke Holding AG, based in Aarburg, Switzerland, is an industrial manufacturer with companies located around the world.

Franke has about 8,100 employees working in 63 companies in Europe, South and North America, Africa, Australia and Asia.

In the late 1920s, the economic upturn in the industry and construction sector led to the incorporation of a sanitary installations department.

Franke built a new factory with offices and residential building, and the company's ten employees relocated to Aarburg, Switzerland.

During the years after the war, the company's factory facilities expanded and the production of complete kitchens began.

Over the next twelve years, Franke experienced rapid growth: 13 new subsidiaries were established and two companies began manufacturing under license.

Franke took over the Sissons company based in Chesterfield, who are a manufacturer of stainless steel catering sinks and washroom systems.

The company was established in the 1970s with the purchase of a stainless steel manufacturer in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metro area.

The Americas division is focused on the manufacture and sale of custom stainless steel heated and refrigerated equipment for quick-service restaurant chains.
