Headquartered in Milwaukee, WI, USA, with distribution across the globe, GRAFF is recognized for its trend-setting products and unique vision. The GRAFF journey began in the early '70s when Mr. Ziggy Kulig, president of Graff designs, came from Europe to the US with a big dream to make a difference in the industry by bringing creation, innovation and perfection and changing impressions with path-breaking industry norms. These values have underpinned the GRAFF philosophy, The Art of Bath. Highly motivated, driven by a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for design, Mr. Kulig opened the first operations in 1982. The combination of European design inspiration and American ingenuity are the base of his desire to manufacture unique products that inspire people to create a dream space in their own house. To meet the increasing demands of the market, Kulig acquired a European faucet manufacturer founded in 1922. Utilizing old-world craftsmanship and new-age technology, all products are cast, polished, and plated with the utmost precision and care. GRAFF is a truly 100% in-house manufacturer – with each product engineered, manufactured, and inspected in-house, the company holds total control of every step in the manufacturing process. GRAFF's artisans rely on expertise honed by years of experience in turning exciting raw ideas into tangible goods with unlimited customization and design possibilities.
