Production

Our production operations are characterised by the utilisation of nothing but state-of-the-art technologies, the result being high efficiency and precision. At the same time, however, our production process has its roots in a long tradition of craftsmanship. The beneficial symbiosis of human skills and automated efficiency ensures products of only the highest quality.

Bromölla

Ifö Sanitär has its largest production plant in Bromölla, Sweden. Here, all sanitary porcelain is manufactured in an all-industrial process. In 2003 the company made substantial investments in the Bromölla plant, to the effect that technology based on the assembly-line principle of the 1960s was replaced by state-of-the-art pressure casting technology. These successful investments give Ifö an important advantage over the company’s competitors.

The raw material used in the production process is, as always, china clay, or kaolin. It used to be sourced at the islet of Ivön nearby, but is today imported from other countries. China clay, feldspar, sand and water are processed into a compound cast in moulds made of plaster or plastic. The finished product is dried, polished and then glazed and fired at some 1 200 degrees Celsius.

Mörrum

Ifö Sanitär’s production plant in Mörrum manufactures bathtubs, shower cubicles, shower enclosures and a number of products made of stainless steel. This production process is similar to that of a traditional engineering industry, although successful investments in new technology have increased the degree of automation in recent years. Investments have also been made in the company’s human resources, to further increase the overall competence level.

At the Mörrum plant, a large number of different raw materials and components are processed. Bathtubs and shower trays are made of black sheet iron that is moulded and then enamelled. In the production of sanitary ware for public toilets as well as for various kitchen products we use stainless steel, which is also moulded into various designs and then given a finishing treatment. The dominating raw materials in shower enclosures are aluminium profiles and panels made of glass or styrene. All these materials are cut in different forms and then assembled.
