What HOESCH does

HOESCH Design GmbH is a German premium bathroom and wellness products manufacturer headquartered in Kreuzau, Germany, operating as a privately held GmbH since 1980. The company manufactures bathtubs, shower trays, shower enclosures, steam baths, whirlpool systems, and washbasins from sanitary acrylic and its proprietary Solique Mineralguss (mineral cast composite) material, with a signature hexagonal bathtub design that has been in continuous production for 40 years. Product engineering emphasizes ergonomics and integrated wellness features, including the iSensi whirl system with slit overflow, Ergo+/Reviva II/Laola II/Tergum hydromassage series, and the SensePerience steam bath platform.

The company differentiates through an extensive portfolio of collaborations with internationally recognized designers (including Norman Foster, Philippe Starck, Andrée Putman, and Michael Graves) and a sustained record of design awards, most recently the iF DESIGN AWARD 2025, alongside the German Design Award, Red Dot, Plus X, Good Design (Chicago), and Designpreis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Manufacturing covers compact entry-level to exclusive luxury variants within a single brand architecture.

HOESCH distributes exclusively through a network of specialized bathroom dealers and regional representatives worldwide, without direct-to-consumer online sales; pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. End customers are affluent residential consumers seeking design-forward bathroom fixtures, hospitality and commercial projects requiring luxury specifications, and bathroom trade specialists (Fachhandwerk) who specify and install the products. The company is led by Managing Directors Robert Dziak and Paweł Kiszka, with 251–500 employees and no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
