Geberit (Alemannic German pronunciation: [ˈɡeberɪ:t]) is a Swiss multinational group specialized in manufacturing and supplying sanitary parts and related systems.

His toilet tank, the Phoenix, made of lead-coated wood and with lead fittings (particularly a flushing mechanism, the first of its kind), was revolutionary and a great success.

In 1989, it acquired a stake in FAE Fluid Air Energy, joining the fresh water supply systems sector.

[6] The company continued its expansion, with new facilities in Rapperswil-Jona, a factory for its Mepla brand in Givisiez, and new international subsidiaries in Italy and Portugal.

[6][9] With the new cash, the company started a series of acquisitions, which included Italy's Deriplast and Walking Pipe Italiana, Germany's Buchler Werkzeugbau AG and the United Kingdom's Caradon Terrain Ltd.

[8] In July of that year, with the aim of strengthen its position in the American market, it purchased Chicago Faucet at a cost of 33.3 million dollars.

[10] In 2004, it purchased the leading German metal pipe manufacturer Mapress Holding from Lindsay Goldberg & Bessemer at a cost of 372.5 million euros.

[1][4] Geberit claims its strategy rests on four pillars: focus on sanitary technology, commitment to innovation, selective geographic expansion, and continuous business process optimization.

To date, Geberit has received a range of awards for the company's innovative strength, product design and its strong focus on sustainability.
