Our Heritage
In 1932, Polish immigrant Max Gerber established a plumbing fixture company dedicated to quality, style, performance and durability that has earned the respect of homeowners, plumbing contractors, builders and designers ever since. The Gerber family successfully grew the company for 75 years and through three generations of leadership that all placed high value on family, employees and customer relationships.
An example of the family’s commitment to its employees is during World War II when the demand for products was very low, management extended generous credit to customers whose businesses were struggling. They also retooled the factories to produce porcelain figurines and other household items to keep the factory operating through the tough times.
