Over the past 40 years, BRITA has evolved into a global player in the field of drinking water filtration. By focusing on research and development, the company provides high-quality products that are at the cutting edge of technological progress. Numerous domestic and internationally protected patents and patent applications enable BRITA to maintain its head start in the area of innovation for the future, too. BRITA has won several international design awards for its innovative products. To ensure that the high quality of BRITA products is maintained, both internal and external tests are continually carried out on products and components.
Leadership in technology and quality
Consistent expansion and adaptation of its product range have enabled BRITA to gain and maintain leadership in technology and quality. BRITA is constantly looking for new ways to use its water filtration technology. Apart from developing cartridges for the most common applications - gravity-driven, pump-through and pressurized technology - the company is constantly expanding its range of both domestic and professional products. Additionally, partner companies integrate BRITA cartridges into their domestic appliances, including kettles, espresso and coffee machines, water dispensers, under-sink installations and in future fridges, as well. For professional use, BRITA produces water filter systems and cartridges for coffee machines, vending machines, steamers and dishwashers. The possibilities are endless, and BRITA is committed to tapping into them in the future, too.
