How many kinds of taps are there?

When customers ask us this, our spontaneous response is: “An infinite number: there are no boundaries to creativity.” Design is free from constraints, and we customise the aesthetics of a tap or bathroom accessory according to the taste, wishes and needs of the customer. We make products that reflect a brand’s personality, values, and philosophy.

How OEM tapware works

When we started out in the tapware sector, the processes and technologies were very different. Like many other industries, ours has grown in a short time and rigid solutions have made way for greater flexibility.

We have adapted how we work to this change and consider it to be a constantly evolving aspect: the steps and processes involved in achieving the finished product are defined by the context, OEM market and demands.

Innovation

Innovation in the tapware sector

Innovation means a company’s ability to implement original methods, processes and systems in-house with the aim of obtaining products or services with real added value for the end customer. For us, innovation means solving problems and satisfying the desires of our interlocutors with unexpected proposals that generate the so-called 'wow' effect. When we see amazement on our customers' faces, we know we have done a good job.

Garef: The Italian OEM Factory is our identity

The relationship between man and water has an ancient fascinating history. The Faucet Museum in San Maurizio d'Opaglio, located just a few minutes from our company headquarters, recounts the steps that have transformed the Cusio and Lake Orta area into one of the districts of excellence for Italian faucets.

We feel a link with the history of this region where the art of tap manufacturing has developed: bathroom components and valves are the two pillars on which man has built the history of technological innovations that have improved people's wellbeing. Our company is factory first of ideas and then of taps: reliability, innovation and confidentiality are the keywords on which we have built our identity.
