Duravit Egypt is a growing subsidiary of Duravit AG. It was founded in 1997 and built a sanitary ceramic plant in the Cairo region; this went into production at the start of 1999. The products were marketed under the Duravit brand; the company was called Duravit Egypt Sanitaryware Manufacturing Company S.A.E. The group manufactures and markets sanitary ceramics, bathroom furniture, bathtubs and shower trays, wellness systems, shower-toilets, faucets, and accessories as well as installation systems. So, the opening of the new headquarters in Cairo on 28 September 2009 is an early highlight in the company’s history.
