SFA in a few dates : 65 years of history
For over 65 years, the companies of the SFA Group have been working to provide our professional and end consumer customers with increasing levels of sanitary convenience in their daily lives. SFA offer much more than technological know-how; we offer inventive, reliable and easy-to-implement solutions; a state of mind and a way of doing things that led to the launch of the first Saniflo macerator in 1958. An ingenious idea that continues to revolutionise interior design around the world. Over the years, our expertise in pumping solutions has provided valuable help in a wide variety of sectors.
Today SFA has design and production expertise in 4 main complementary areas:
- Water treatment equipment and solutions
- Pumps and pumping stations for industrial projects
- Pumps and sanitary macerators for home use
- Equipment for showers, whirlpool bathtubs and spas
