This merger marked the beginning of a global enterprise. Over the centuries, Villeroy & Boch has become synonymous with high-quality tableware, sanitary ware, and tiles, blending traditional craftsmanship with innovative design. Beyond their renowned tableware and sanitary ware, Villeroy & Boch has a rich history of artistic production.
