Rubinetterie Treemme

What Rubinetterie Treemme does

Rubinetterie Treemme, legally Rubinetterie 3M S.r.l., is an Italian manufacturer of premium bathroom and kitchen faucets, mixers, showerheads, and accessories, founded in 1968 in Asciano, Siena, and operating as a family-owned S.r.l. with a €99,000 share capital. The company runs a vertically integrated production cycle in-house at its Asciano facility — including foundry, galvanic treatment, polishing, painting, and assembly — with over 80% of production done internally and the remainder sourced from selected Italian suppliers under a Made-in-Italy quality framework. Its technology base centers on PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) surface coatings, cold-body thermostatic valve technology, optical-sensor electronic faucets, and LED-illuminated crystal and marble knobs, supported by a renewable energy footprint including on-site photovoltaics and contracted wind power.

The product portfolio spans more than 40 collections organized across Design (e.g., W-Touch, Watt, 5mm, 22mm, 28mm, Q30, Kea, Ios, Aurelia, Appia), Modern (e.g., 40mm PVD steel, Hask, PA36, Ran, Line, X-change, Tag#, Bamboo, Nanotech, Electronic Tap), Classic (Piccadilly, Romantica, Old Italy, 8200), Contract (Mars, Footprint, Xero+, Zip, Thermo S + Shower, Kitchen S), and components (concealed bodies, WC plates), offered in 17+ finishes ranging from chrome and brushed nickel to PVD-coated gold, bronze, and gun metal. The company holds an extensive portfolio of international water and sanitary certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, WRAS, NSF/ANSI 61, ACS, BELGAQUA, WATERMARK, PUB, KC, PZH, OQC, UWLA), enabling distribution across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.

Rubinetterie Treemme sells exclusively through B2B channels: a global network of authorized retailers, a Reserved Area portal for designers and architects, and a dedicated contract division serving hospitality and commercial projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per project. The company does not sell direct to consumers and does not operate software, app, or API offerings. End customers are private residential homeowners (primary segment), hotels and commercial operators (contract), and architects and interior designers who specify premium Italian-made fixtures for their projects. The company maintains multi-language websites (IT, EN, ES, FR, DE), participates in Milano Design Week and other design events, and in June 2026 opened a new flagship showroom in Milan to deepen engagement with the design community.
