The origin
Pau Rovira Campderrós
Founder of Grifería Rovira
In 1880, Pau Rovira Campderrós, founder of the family firm, began manufacturing water gauges and installing them in the town of Vallirana, Barcelona.
By the end of the 19th century, the first wall-mounted taps, spouts and showers had become the main products made and sold across the region.
Ever since, four generations have kept the passion for craftsmanship and innovation alive: from artisan workshop to international name, without ever losing its essence or its commitment to quality.
