Even a company with centuries of tradition and great examples "started small".

 

It all started in Hornberg in 1817, when Georg Friedrich Horn founded an earthenware factory that initially focused on the manufacture of pottery. In 1956, production evolved from earthenware to porcelain, expanding the product line to include sanitary ceramics. This provided a platform for future success and also introduced the sanitary world to a new name: Duravit. Today, Duravit AG operates internationally and has 11 production sites with more than 7,000 employees worldwide.
