About HOESCH
HOESCH Design GmbH, headquartered in Kreuzau-Schneidhausen, develops and produces sanitary bath and wellness products: bathtubs, free-standing monoblock bathtubs, shower trays, whirl tubs and whirlpools, steam cabins, shower cabins and washbasins. Since 1972, the company has been the first German manufacturer to produce bathtubs from sanitary acrylic (brand Sanicryl) using the thermoforming process; since 2013, the mineral casting material Solique with the SoliquePro surface coating has been used. In addition, HOESCH processes glass and wood, among other things for shower enclosures and steam product lines with steam generators. The product range spans from compact entry-level solutions to exclusive luxury variants and also includes barrier-free products. The products can be found internationally, among other places, in hotel projects in Belgium, Spain, Thailand and Dubai.
