Franke

Franke of Switzerland is the world's leading sink manufacturer and renowned for a commitment to quality and an unmistakable flair for design, using the finest materials and state-of-the-art production technology. Franke has become the world's largest composite sink manufacturer by adopting the same policies of investment in innovation and technology which established their position as the world's largest stainless steel sink manufacturer.

Franke has been a pioneering company from the outset. It is their philosophy not only to react to market changes, but to inititate change where they perceive it to be needed - keeping them at the forefront of the design world. The only solution which satisfies them is the best possible solution. Their flexibility enables them to refuse compromise - as such, whatever they do is done to the best of their ability, from developing standard systems to refining bespoke products.

Franke operates in a number of different markets on a global scale. The company was formed in 1911, and Franke produced their first sink in 1925. Franke is at the forefront of research and development of new materials and products for the kitchen. Franke UK is wholly integrated into the Franke Kitchen System Division.

The modern sink has come a long way from it's humble beginnings. Gone are the days when it was a massive sink tub fixed to wall, with a wooden drainer beside it. Now, with kitchen design playing a key role in home improvement, it has ceased to be a mere workaday item. Now it is designed to be good looking, even fashionable, as well as functional. And options are much wider in terms of materials, colours, styles and formats. Franke is always at the forefront of design implementation in the manufacture of new models and materials.
