What GESSI SA does

Gessi S.p.A. (commercial name Gessi) is a family-owned Italian manufacturer of luxury bathroom fixtures, kitchen faucets, sensor taps, private wellness systems, outdoor fixtures, and home decor, founded in 1990 by the Gessi family and headquartered in Serravalle Sesia (Vercelli), Italy on a 1.5 million square metre green park campus. The company's product platform is organized into six core collections (Bath, Kitchen, Private Wellness, Sensor Taps, Outdoor, Home Decor) plus signature designer collaborations including the Kengo Kuma Incastri bath collection and the David Rockwell Colonna fixtures line, with manufacturing that blends Italian craftsmanship with advanced production techniques described as 'technologically handcrafted.'

The business operates on a controlled, indirect distribution model: products are not sold directly via the corporate website and instead move exclusively through a global network of authorized distributors and retailers governed by a formal distributor code of conduct. The corporate site functions as a brand and product information platform, supported by the Area Pro product configurator (areapro.gessi.com) and experiential flagship showcases such as Casa Gessi Milano during Milano Design Week 2026. Customer mix is weighted toward luxury residential primary demand with a secondary luxury-hospitality vertical, evidenced by named installations at Bab Al Shams Resort (Dubai), Desert Rock Resort and Shebara Resort (Red Sea), and La Querola D'Ordino (Andorra).

Operational and competitive credentials include continuous triple ISO certification since 1996 (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001), family ownership with Gian Luca Gessi as CEO and Umberto Gessi as founder, and active industrial modernization under the EU-funded W.I.S.H. (Wellness and Innovation for Sustainable Home) PNRR project running through November 2025. Geographic footprint is centred in EMEA with explicit references in Italy, the UAE, and Andorra.
