Benkiser Armaturenwerk
About Us
Professional-grade self-closing faucets and soap dispensers for the sanitary industry.
Our History
It all began in 1909. Our founder, Emil Benkiser registered the “Benkiser & Cie. GmbH” in the Strasbourg commercial register. Shortly after, the first printed Benkiser catalog was published.
Over 100 years later, the spirit of Benkiser still persists. We proudly continue our tradition of quality and the best workmanship possible. We will continue to strive to deliver sanitary solutions fit for the ever demanding requirements of a fast developing industry.
