Consistently seamless: BLANCO combines design and innovation

With its high-quality design and trend-setting innovations, Blanco has constantly set new standards and received widespread recognition. Just recently, the company presented another highlight with the world premiere of the BLANCO UNIT and the soda drinking water system.

As a specialist for the water hub in the kitchen, the BLANCO group intends to consistently develop its product portfolio as part of its strategic realignment and fulfil the comprehensive promise of a premium brand with seamless system solutions.

In order to realize this ambitious goal, the design and innovation management departments were merged under joint management as of October 1, 2020.
