The SFA timeline: 65 years of innovation
For more than 65 years, the companies of the SFA Group have been working to provide professional and private individuals with ever greater sanitary comfort in their daily lives. They offer them much more than technological know-how; they offer inventive, reliable and easy-to-implement solutions. A state of mind and a way of doing things that in 1958 resulted in the launch of the first Sanibroyeur. An ingenious idea that continues to revolutionise interior design around the world. This mastery of pumping solutions has been deployed over the years, providing valuable help in a wide variety of sectors.
Today SFA has design and production expertise in 4 main synergetic areas:
- Water treatment equipment and solutions
- Pumps and pumping stations for industrial projects
- Pumps and sanitary macerators for home use
- Equipment for showers, whirlpool bathtubs and spas
