The History

of Villeroy & Boch since 1748

Argent Australia is celebrating 275 Years of Villeroy & Boch. Founded by Francois Boch in 1748 as a small pottery company in France, the company began to flourish in 1836 after a merger with the Villeroy family and a move to Mettlach, Germany. Capitalising on new technologies during the Industrial Revolution, Villeroy & Boch became innovators in bathroom fixtures and sanitaryware.

Today, Villeroy & Boch is a global leader in the sanitaryware industry, crafting meticulously designed and sustainable toilets, washbasins, bathtubs, shower systems, and bathroom fixtures. Their name symbolises elegance and sophistication, reflecting their unwavering commitment to exceptional bathroom design and functionality.

Enhanced hygiene with Subway 3.0 ft. TwistFlush

The Subway 3.0 Twistflush is an upgraded, hygienic flushing system by Villeroy & Boch. Harnessing the power of swirling water ensures a thorough and clean flush using fewer litres per flush. This revolutionary technology creates a controlled vortex, reaching every inch of the toilet bowl for optimal hygiene. Additionally, the bowl's conical shape and smooth walls minimise dirt and germ accumulation, reducing the need for intense cleaning.

With its no-splash design and quiet operation, TwistFlush is available for all Subway 3.0 Toilets, integrating its appealing and timeless design into any bathroom style or design.

Innovation

Innovation is a pillar focus at Villeroy & Boch, which prides itself on ongoing research and development throughout all aspects of the business. Here are a few highlights from their 275 years of innovation.

  • Founded. François Boch founds pottery company with his three sons.
  • Earthenware. 3rd generation Boch innovates with earthenware. Considerably cheaper featuring bright whites & an extremely hard compound enables this innovation to reach more of society & 'democratise' tableware.
  • Merger. Recognising the great innovative strengths of each business, the Jean-François Boch company merges with Nicolas Villeroy to become Villeroy & Boch.
  • Hygiene for All. Villeroy & Boch combines a number of in-house & adopted innovations to begin large-scale production of affordable bathtubs & toilets, heralding the widespread adoption of bathroom hygiene for average homes.
  • Fashion & Design. Villeroy & Boch's first designer collaboration featuring Italian, Luigi Colani, to make the bathroom a fashion statement. Villeroy & Boch continues to collaborate with a number of designers to present day.
  • Ceramic Plus. This innovative scratch-resistant finishing process ensures that drops on the surface immediately flow together to form water beads and then simply run off, making it hygienic and extremely easy to clean.
  • DirectFlush. Thanks to the innovative rimless design, DirectFlush WCs can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly – for quintessential hygiene. It can be hard to clean under the rim of a standard toilet as the toilet brush and cleaning agent do not reach everywhere.
  • TitanCeram. Drawing on 270 years of knowledge, Villeroy & Boch invents a new type of ceramic, TitanCeram, allowing production of delicate, high-quality designs such as basins with extremely thin walls without sacrificing strength.
  • TwistFlush. With this innovative flushing system, you'll get more power using less water. The ultra-quiet flushing technology will make your bathroom experience even more peaceful.
It is crucial that the culture of innovation is
placed at the highest level in the company and
enjoys a high status there.
