In the early eighties the most important tap producers, enabled by their technical means and financial resources, started to manufacture single-lever ceramic cartidge mixers.

The lack of experience with the different technologies and the new materials caused malfunctions and affected significantly the lifespan of the product. Yet the limited quantities manufactured hindered adequate investments in the research necessary to improve the overall quality of the product.

On these grounds became prominent the idea that introducing a few standard models (such as 1/2″ ad 3/4″ headworks) to be sold freely on the market could enable even smaller tap manufacturers to produce single-lever mixers.

A few firms arose in Italy to pursue this objective. However their products, albeit improved in comparison to the preceding generation, still exhibited a high degree of defectiveness.

In 1986 Hydroplast was founded with the purpose of overcoming the existing flaws and guarantee better qualitative standards than those available on the market.

This goal was met already with the first model: higher performances, enhanced durability and full compliance to the NF regulations.
Hydroplast has thenceforth become a benchmark in the industry, being able, thanks to its expertise, to design and manufacture state-of-the-art, innovative and reliable products.

Swift problem solving and the capability of producing models tailored on the client’s needs have also become cornerstones of the firm.
