THE PRESTO STORY :
A DARING FAMILY SPIRIT

An expert in its field that is now the global benchmark for innovative and sustainable solutions for controlling water in sanitary facilities in public access buildings, PRESTO was founded in 1927 by two brothers: André and Lucien Patient.

These true geniuses invented the first push-button timed-flow tap to combat water wastage and conserve our resources. So saving water and energy has always been at the very heart of the technologies and solutions developed by PRESTO.

To remain a pioneer in the design and manufacture of tapware and accessories for sanitary facilities in public access buildings is a real innovation challenge in itself. Thanks to our R&D, and our knowledge of markets and changing needs, we now have 69 registered patents!

PRESTO is the leader in France, and a major player internationally.

We currently have 80 countries importing our products.
To monitor the most demanding projects in dynamic markets, we currently have 7 international sales divisions: PRESTO Italy, PRESTO Armaturen (Germany), PRESTO Ibérica (Spain), PRESTO Middle East (Dubai), PRESTO North Africa (Tunisia), PRESTO Belgium and PRESTO Switzerland; we also have a representative office in Singapore.

Our quality is manufactured in France and Portugal.

All PRESTO products are manufactured in Saint George-de-Didonne and in Portugal, and all SANIFIRST healthcare solutions are exclusively produced by our Angoulême site.
Our head office is located in Montrouge (Paris), and we employ 220 people in France.

PRESTO
LOVES WATER

A leading French industrial group, we put our technological expertise, our human and environmental responsibility, and our knowledge of sustainable products at the service of water control in public access buildings.

Public access buildings are subject to stringent H&S precautions and each building has its own particularities. We innovate, design and adapt our work to the conditions of each facility and how its tapware and sanitaryware will be used.

With timed-flow technology that limits water consumption sustainably and unique expertise in all things related to hygiene, robustness and comfort, PRESTO enables sites with high water consumption needs to minimise how much is consumed and secure its use.

Whether you are a consultant or an installer, our products will meet your needs for designing and equipping buildings with inherently very demanding shared sanitary facilities; schools, stadiums, airports, business premises, factories, places of worship, etc.

Our emblematic achievements for Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Baumettes prison in Marseille, Abu Dhabi International Airport, Bordeaux University Hospital, the Juventus Stadium in Italy, the Grande Arche de la Défense in France and the Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art are all testament to this.
