The development of faucets started at Grana in 1998. At the turn of the century, Finns’ interest in home furnishing was also targeted at kitchens and bathrooms. The kitchens opened into lounges and cooking changed from being a mere task to more of a social culture. Bathrooms and sauna areas where changed to reflect more of a spa-like feeling. Faucets and showers gained an increasingly important role as interior elements of the home. Finland’s supply of faucets was very narrow and expensive at that time. Grana Oy was established in 2006 to meet the growing demand. The main goal of Grana was to offer customers beautiful, functional and high quality faucets and showers. The most important aspect for us is that we are able to offer design in affordable prices.
Immediately after the company was founded, Grana attracted great interest in Finland and abroad. Grana is now one of Finland’s most popular brands. Grana is still present in the city of Akaa. The designs are done domestically and the components are manufactured at factories of our well-known partners. Grana has national approvals in Finland (STF) and in Denmark (VA).
