What Tissino does

Tissino is a UK-based, privately-held designer and wholesaler of premium bathroom products, operating from Warrington, England under the legal entity Tissino Ltd. Founded in 1998 with over 25 years of industry experience, the company sells exclusively through B2B channels—a network of boutique bathroom showrooms, specialist bathroom contractors, architects, and designers across the United Kingdom—supported by an online retailer portal offering 24/7 ordering, trade pricing, marketing resources, and document access. Tissino does not sell directly to consumers; instead, end customers locate retailers through a "Find a Retailer" tool and purchase through those showrooms.

The product portfolio is organized as a unified platform of 18+ named collections across 9 categories: Bathing, Brassware, Heating, Furniture, Mirrors and Mirror Cabinets, Sanitaryware, Showering, Showering Brassware, and Accessories. Key collections include Hugo2 heated towel rails, Rivelo and Armano shower enclosures, Giorgio2 slate-effect shower trays, Angelo and Lorenzo baths, Mozzano and Cosenza furniture, Cellini and Vitolo solid surface basins, and Arturo and Santuro PVD-coated brassware. Proprietary material technologies include Perma Bianco acrylic for bath panels (wooden core with resin reinforcement to prevent discolouration), stone resin shower trays with gel finish, and Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coatings on brassware. Products carry 10-year guarantees as standard, extendable to 20 years on Arturo and Santuro brassware upon registration, and are certified to EN 422 standard.

The business model is straightforward B2B wholesale: retailers purchase at ex-VAT trade pricing with terms applied, then resell to end consumers at RRP (which ranges from £21.67 for a Giorgio2 coloured grate to £2,538.64 for an Angelo freestanding bath). Revenue is generated through one-time product sales rather than subscriptions or recurring contracts. Tissino also offers Professional Services for residential building projects, providing premium bathroom packages and design/specification support. The company has no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no management team information available, suggesting it operates as a privately-held, founder-led entity.

• Hansgrohe: Global premium brassware and shower specialist offering taps, showers, and shower systems. Directly comparable to Tissino in brassware and shower enclosures (especially Arturo/Santuro vs Hansgrohe's premium lines) but with vastly greater scale, an international brand reputation, and stronger installer pull.

• Villeroy & Boch: Global premium European bathroom brand with full sanitaryware, brassware, and furniture ranges across the price spectrum, including dedicated UK specification programmes. Comparable at the premium positioning tier, but operates at much greater scale and global reach than Tissino.
