High Powered

Perfection

Designer and manufacturer of every essential element in the bathroom, the

Eczacıbaşı Building Products Division has an annual capacity of 5,6 million

units of ceramic sanitaryware, 30 million square metres of ceramic- and

porcelain tiles, 2 million taps, 350,000 bathtubs and shower trays, and 400,000

modules of bathroom furniture. Output alone, however, is not the sole factor

in the significance of VitrA’s manufacturing capability. Carefully calibrated

for minimal resource consumption, these cutting-edge factories and plants

create sophisticated designs and maintain extremely high standards whilst

progressively reducing VitrA’s ecological footprint.

VitrA Plant Sites

BOZÜYÜK, BİLECİK, TURKEY

Established in 1977, this mega-complex, which underwent a comprehensive overhaul

in 1985, is one of the world’s top sanitaryware production facilities in capacity,

technology and quality. Advanced technology includes high-pressure casting, rapid-

drying moulds, fettling robots in casting shops, and barcode follow-up. The tile plant

produces wall- and floor tiles, porcelain floor tiles, swimming pool products and

complementary pieces. A separate plant in the complex produces taps, bathroom

accessories and shower systems.

TUZLA, İSTANBUL, TURKEY

Having pioneered the production of acrylic bathtubs in Turkey, VitrA today offers an

extensive range of acrylic bathroom essentials from bathtubs through to shower

trays, shower systems, compact systems and walk-in shower units. A separate factory

produces VitrA bathroom furniture.

SERPUKHOV, RUSSIA

VitrA’s latest ceramic sanitaryware production facility is located in the Russian town

of Serpukhov. The earlier tile plant at the same site produces porcelain- and wall tiles.
