SFA's continuous drive, since its inception, to innovate and look to the future, allows it to become a market leader and major player in the sanitary world
History of SFA
1958
After starting out designing equipment for wastewater treatment plants, SFA revolutionizes the sanitary fixtures market by creating the toilet macerator. This product, the SFA Sanibroyeur, makes it possible to install toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms anywhere in the house without major remodelling work.
1970-1980
With great success in France, SFA expands its sales throughout Europe and North America. At the same time, SFA differentiates itself from other players in the industrial sector by conducting its first television communication campaigns.
1990-2000
SFA becomes one of the pioneering industrial groups in France to engage in a quality certification process. Its production facilities are among the first ISO-certified factories. The SFA Group diversifies its activities while remaining focused on the sanitary fixtures sector.
2000-2010
SFA's culture of innovation leads to a growing diversification of products. Thus, the SANICUBIC® line is launched for lifting, and the Research and Development teams improve the SANIBROYEUR line for superior comfort. SFA becomes a household name among professionals and individual consumers alike, reaching its 50th year in 2008.
2010-2018
The SFA Group celebrates 60 years of innovation and continues to improve its existing lines with the UP access panel, winning gold in the 2017 Ideobains innovation contest. Still tuned in to the trends of the bathroom world, the SANIFLOOR line for walk-in showers sees its first model marketed in 2015, and then improved in 2018.
