Geberit: Performance in 2024

Despite the sharp decline in the European construction sector, the Geberit Group — a global leader in the production of sanitaryware and bathroom solutions — closed 2024 with net sales of CHF 3,085 million. This figure is in line with 2023 levels in current currencies, but represents a 2.5% increase when adjusted for negative currency effects, which amounted to CHF 76 million. The EBITDA margin is expected to show a slight decline compared to 2023, mainly due to significant investments in marketing, digitalization, and IT projects.

The sales growth was driven exclusively by higher volumes. In the first half of 2024, restocking by wholesalers combined with the launch of new products allowed Geberit to strengthen its market position.

Analyzing performance across different geographic regions, sales in Europe grew by 1.9% in 2024 (currency-adjusted), despite the sanitary segment continuing to be affected by difficult market conditions. Above-average increases were recorded in Eastern Europe (+7.1%), Italy (+6.2%), the Benelux countries (+3.8%), and Germany (+3.2%). Austria also showed a slight increase (+0.3%), while sales in Switzerland remained stable compared to the previous year (-0.1%). On the other hand, revenues declined in Western Europe (-2.6%) and Northern Europe (-4.2%). In non-European markets, Geberit saw significant growth in the Middle East/Africa (+17.1%), the Americas (+3%), and the Far East/Pacific (+0.2%), where a decline in China was offset by strong growth in India.

Regarding the Group’s three Business Units, the Installation & Flushing Systems division closed 2024 with a 4.8% increase in sales, while the Piping Systems and Bathroom Systems divisions recorded respective increases of 1.3% and 1.1%.

Outlook for 2025

Looking ahead to 2025, Geberit’s management expects a possible stabilization in construction demand, following the significant decline seen since mid-2022. In Europe, during the first nine months of 2024, the number of building permits issued was slightly lower than in 2023 (-1.9%). In key markets such as Germany, the Nordic countries, and Austria, the number of permits dropped by a total of 12%, suggesting a further mild decline in the new construction segment.

In contrast, the renovation sector — which accounts for around 60% of Geberit’s business — is expected to remain stable or experience slight growth. In non-European markets, the outlook for 2025 is mixed: demand in India and the Gulf region is expected to remain strong, while a further contraction is anticipated in China.

The Geberit Group is a globally recognized name and a leading player in Europe in sanitary technology, bathroom plumbing systems, and ceramic sanitaryware. The company was founded in 1874 in Switzerland, where its headquarters are still located today in Rapperswil.

Over the years, the company has grown and evolved, continuously raising its standards and offering customers high-quality products. It is a solid and respected organization, whose strengths lie in its reliability, product quality, and excellent customer service.

At Fratelli Pellizzari, we are proud to be official retailers of Geberit products in the provinces of Vicenza and Verona.

The Geberit Monolith series redefines and refreshes the style of any bathroom.

The innovative modules for toilets, bidets, and washbasins are available in various colors, allowing them to match most ceramic products on the market—giving you complete freedom to express your creativity! You can think outside the box and create a unique color scheme for your bathroom, without falling into monotony.

On the outside, Monolith elements are defined by a design that is both understated and captivating, as well as by the use of premium materials: tempered glass for the front panel, brushed aluminum for the side covers, and precisely crafted control buttons.
Monolith is an innovative, high-quality choice—ideal for those who care as much about design and decor as they do about technical performance and long-term reliability..

The flush plate is the only visible part of a concealed cistern for the end user, and therefore becomes an element that helps define the bathroom's overall design. It should not be underestimated: an unattractive flush plate can compromise the success of an otherwise well-designed space. Paying attention to details—such as the choice of the flush plate—can make the difference between a dull bathroom and one that feels thoughtfully curated and refined.

Geberit offers a wide range of flush plates in various shapes, colors, materials, and models, capable of meeting any customer’s expectations.

A new bathroom should satisfy its owner for many years. In the case of Geberit flush plates, this means offering the highest possible standards in terms of quality, along with an elegant and timeless design.

The company also offers an innovative technology that can be installed inside the Geberit Sigma cistern, hidden behind one of their stylish flush plates: it's called the DuoFresh system, a solution designed to eliminate unpleasant odors. The system activates as soon as someone sits down on the toilet: air is extracted and then reintroduced into the room after being purified!

Geberit flushing systems offer a wide range of options to suit all customer preferences.

One of these systems is the Geberit Sigma8, available in different versions to meet every construction need. In its basic version, the cistern is suitable for floor-mounted toilets, while the Combifix Italia version features a frame with brackets for wall-hung toilet installation.

Whether you're addressing a special customer request or looking for a specific construction solution, the extensive Geberit Duofix Sigma8 and Sigma12 installation element ranges are perfectly equipped to meet every requirement.

For drywall applications, the company recommends the Geberit Duofix system, specifically designed for this type of installation. In this version, the cistern is integrated into a self-supporting frame module.
With Geberit Duofix, both plumbing professionals and designers have access to a complete range of self-supporting installation elements, usable in all types of sanitary systems with maximum versatility and ease of installation.

This is a company that truly supports the professionals who choose it: it doesn't cause problems—on the contrary, it brings great satisfaction!
No more issues with complex wall chases or complicated planning of drainpipes and water supplies.

Geberit is the perfect solution for both renovations and new homes. Installers no longer need to involve other trades during site preparation—they can complete the entire bathroom independently, more easily, in less time, with fewer headaches, and greater profit.

And the benefits are felt by end customers as well, who choose Geberit’s innovative solutions: you can offer them a cleaner job site, the possibility for future changes or easier renovations, and—last but not least—reduced flushing noise thanks to the system’s acoustic insulation.

In recent years, walk-in showers have seen significant growth, with more and more customers seeking an easily accessible shower area, along with a more cutting-edge and modern design. There’s no doubt that a walk-in shower gives the bathroom a sense of wellness and luxury that traditional showers with raised white trays simply can't achieve.

The Geberit brand helps us meet our customers' evolving demands by offering shower solutions with maximum functionality and an elegant, flawless design. As mentioned, Geberit provides high-quality products and boasts extensive know-how in drainage technology—an essential aspect, since a walk-in shower must be carefully designed and well-executed to avoid flooding the house!

As a company, Geberit supports both the design and construction of these types of bathrooms with its innovative solutions. The advantages go beyond plumbing designers and installers—they benefit the end customer most of all, who can rest assured they are not getting a low-quality product and can rely on a drainage system that performs efficiently over the long term.
