In 2025, Oras Group acquired the Gustavsberg and Vatette businesses and brands from Villeroy & Boch. The acquisition strengthens our position as a leading provider of bathroom sanitary fittings in the Nordics. All four Oras Group brands (Oras, HANSA, Gustavsberg, Vatette) can now benefit from the long-term vision of our industrial owner, Oras Invest, whose strategy emphasises committed ownership, long-term development and sustainable value creation.
Oras Group became a participant in the UN Global Compact, a corporate sustainability initiative that calls on companies to align strategies and operations with ten universal principles regarding human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
A new chrome plating line in Rauma – the largest individual investment in the company’s history – began operations in early 2026. The new line introduces various improvements to the manufacturing process, including increased energy efficiency, enhanced quality and reduced waste. The new line significantly lowers water consumption thanks to a closed-loop water cooling system.
In 2025, Oras Group defined a carbon roadmap for the company and in 2026 Gustavsberg will become a part of it. In 2025, Oras Group also committed to setting near-term company-wide emission reduction targets in line with climate science with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
A new bathroom faucet collection was created in collaboration with the renowned Italian design studio Debiasi Sandri. As a reflection of the product family’s design excellence, one of its washbasin faucets was honoured with the iF Design Award. Sustainability is central to the collection. For example, it incorporates cold start technology*. In addition, the collection’s washbasin faucets have reduced flow rate (below 5 l/min). The entire product family also already meets the new minimum hygiene requirements set by the EU Drinking Water Directive.
* Cold start means that the lever’s middle position is set to cold water by default, preventing unnecessary energy consumption for heating.
Several important emission reduction actions were taken at Gustavsberg’s Vårgårda manufacturing site during 2025 to lower carbon footprint. Notable examples include replacing petroleum-based oil with bio-oil at a district heating plant during peak periods and replacing the last diesel-powered forklift with an electric one, resulting in a fully electric forklift fleet.
Systematic work done to promote occupational safety and work satisfaction is bearing fruit. In 2025 Oras Group’s Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) decreased to 2.8 (2024: 5.5). In addition, employee engagement rose to 3.9 (2024: 3.7).
Our customer satisfaction survey shows an upward trend from 2024 in customer experience. All key indicators – Net Promoter Score, Customer Satisfaction Index and Ease of Dealings – show clear improvement. Quality, good service and the expertise of our sales personnel remain our core strengths. We also succeeded in improving product delivery performance, which was a key focus area for 2025. The results reflect our determined commitment to customer centricity and continuous improvement.
In 2025, both Oras and Gustavsberg celebrated significant milestones, with Oras turning 80 and Gustavsberg marking 200 years of history.
