What Artiqua does
Artiqua GmbH is a German manufacturer of bathroom furniture founded in 2007 as a spin-off from a traditional East Westphalian family business, headquartered in Schlangen, Germany. The company designs, produces, and distributes washbasin vanity units, consoles, mirrors, mirror cabinets, and storage furniture across four product series (ARTIQUA 100 Designprogramme, 200 Blockprogramme, 300 Breitenvariabel, and 400 Baukastensystem), covering more than 20 distinct products aimed at master, family, urban, and guest bathrooms. The technology base combines premium materials—ceramic and KRION mineral surfaces, mineral cast (Mineralguss) washbasins, laminate and MDF cabinetry—with proprietary features including centimeter-precise width-variable (Breitenvariabel) planning, integrated LED seam lighting, optional motion-sensor touchless switching, and a modular 400-series engineered for compatibility with ceramic washbasins from Duravit, Ideal Standard, Geberit, Keramag, Laufen, Villeroy & Boch, and Vitra.
Revenue is generated through B2B wholesale and dealer channels at recommended retail prices denominated in Euro, with product pricing published via the 2022/23 and 2024-25 catalogs. Distribution flows through the German SANITÄR-FACHGROSSHANDEL sanitary wholesale channel, an authorized dealer network accessed through the company's Händlersuche dealer locator, and Impex, the exclusive Austrian partner operating 10 showrooms with over 400 displayed bathrooms across more than 9,000 m² and managing the Artiqua Austria office in Kirchberg/Pielach. The company holds the German Design Award 2012, Interior Winner 2013 and 2014, and the DGM Goldenes M RAL quality mark, and is privately held by its two managing directors (Dr. Jochen Peters and Swen Schmitz) with no disclosed institutional investment, public financial reporting, or non-DACH geographic expansion.
