BRISTAN

Founded in 1977 by entrepreneurs Brian and Stan, the company started in Birmingham and generated a good reputation supplying taps to DIY chains. They grew from strength to strength and eventually began to sell showers as well, furthering the potential of the company. In 2004 they had grown to such an extent that they were bought by a global housewares company, Masco. Bristan continues to provide excellent bathroom products, with fresh new designs constantly emerging.
