Our Story

Fluidmaster combines a global reach with European craftsmanship, centuries of expertise, innovation, and dedication to quality. We proudly stand as one of the leading companies in the sanitary industry, bringing innovative water management solutions to users worldwide.

1957 - The Birth of Fluidmaster: One Man’s Vision

Fluidmaster was founded in 1957 when German engineer, inventor, and philanthropist Mr. Schoepe introduced a revolutionary solution for toilet cisterns. Initially passionate about the aviation industry, he soon realized he could make a significant impact in the sanitary field with his ideas.

With a meticulously designed fill valve that operated seamlessly with water pressure, Mr. Schoepe opened a new chapter in the sanitary industry.

The iconic Fluidmaster logo - a heart - has symbolized dedication to water and innovation from the very beginning, embodying the "stop and go" philosophy that Mr. Schoepe embedded into the first Fluidmaster valve.


Growth Through Strategic Acquisitions

Fluidmaster reinforced its position in the European market through strategic acquisitions of brands such as WISA, SCHWAB, and LIV. This visionary step allowed us to expand and innovate while maintaining exceptional quality and global accessibility.
