Considered by many kitchen designers and installers as the foremost manufacturer of kitchen sinks, the Swiss company is renowned for a commitment to quality and an unmistakable flair for design, all achieved through a policy of investment, innovation and utilising up to the minute technology. Over the years from the company’s inception in 1911 as a sheet metal business, Franke has established their position as the largest stainless steel sink manufacturer in the world and a leading name in kitchen taps, cooker hoods, ceramic and Fragranite sinks. Franke started production of the first sink units in nickeline, monel-metal and later in stainless steel. Since then, over 50 million sinks have been produced and delivered worldwide.
The modern kitchen sink is a far cry from the humble pot sink which was normally seen under a window with a draining board made from wood attached to it. Now the kitchen sink is a feature of the modern kitchen and when complimented by stylish taps can be a focal point. The stainless steel sinks that are made by Franke use only premium quality chrome nickel steel, which looks stunningly beautiful, is highly resistant to staining, rust and corrosion, and it won't chip, craze, flake or break.
Franke are a worldwide company with manufacturing facilities in most major countries, the UK being no exception, Franke UK, is wholly integrated into the Franke Kitchen System Division. Franke Kitchen Systems is the world’s leading provider of intelligent systems for domestic kitchens, trusted by more users in more kitchens worldwide than any other manufacturer. In addition to kitchen sinks, Franke have a complete range of kitchen taps, waste disposal units and cooker hoods all, as you would expect, not just of the highest quality, but technically advanced too.
