Company History

Triflow Concepts, formerly known as Avilion, is a true UK manufacturing success story. The company was established in 1978 as a brassware manufacturer, excelling in producing high quality engineering solutions. Whilst over the past decade many of its competitors chose to close their UK factories, transferring their manufacturing processes to the Far East or other low cost areas, Triflow Concepts took the decision to strengthen its position in the UK by significantly expanding its manufacturing base here at home. In 2006, Triflow Concepts expanded into a second manufacturing plant in Wolverhampton and acquired a sanitaryware manufacturing plant based in Tamworth, Staffordshire, at the very heart of the ceramics industry.

Triflow Concepts is unique in that it controls 100% of the manufacturing process; from concept design through to casting, machining, polishing, plating, assembly, testing, packaging and logistics. We are one of the largest independent brassware manufacturers in the UK with the most technologically advanced machinery available and a highly skilled workforce.

Innovation, rather than duplication has driven the company's expansion and this is exemplified by the invention of the Triflow in 1991. A concept as simple as it is brilliant, the Triflow is the world's first three-way tap, delivering not only hot and cold water but also filtered water, through a dedicated waterway and from the same spout. This groundbreaking development has been one of the most significant changes to the industry and its strong patent remains unchallenged.

In 1993, the company launched the Perrin & Rowe range of brassware for kitchen and bathroom. These products soon gained their position as market leaders in the luxury kitchen and bathroom brassware sectors and are specified by the most discerning architects and designers around the world.

Pushing the Boundaries

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Triflow Concepts, the company has commissioned renowned architect Zaha Hadid to design two new models for Triflow. Depending on personal preference, either can be used in the kitchen or the bathroom. We are very proud of our cooperation with Zaha Hadid and identify with this architect whose designs consistently push the boundaries of architecture and design. We regard her endorsement as an affirmation of our own status as an innovative company rather than one that follows trends.
