45 YEARS IN THE MAKING

NEW ZEALAND owned & operated, Foreno Tapware has a strong 45 year history that is unmistakably Kiwi & staunchly epitomises Quality, Innovation & Health.

The Foreno timeline starts in 1969 with the formation of Apollo Industries by Peter Johnson. Apollo Industries manufactured wall flanges, tap washers & hand showers that were cutting edge for their time.

Later, in 1975, a well-known company called Pacific Plumbing Appliances (PPA) was formed and bought out Apollo. PPA saw great potential in the ingenuity of Peter Johnson and “tapped” into his skills. They quickly became the market leaders and received high recognition from tradespeople.

QUALITY

Foreno is a Watermark Certified Tapmaker and manufactures to the joint NZ & Australian standards AS/NZS3718 & AS/NZS4020. Our quality assurance plan is independently audited on an annual basis by SAI Global to ensure we meet those standards.

Foreno Tapware has the distinction of being the first tapware manufacturing company in Australasia to receive CodeMark Certification (from the Department of Building & Housing) for a large number of its products. For end users,this means that any Foreno product that is CodeMark certified is deemed to comply with the New Zealand Building Code. This creates assurance of quality for building contractors, as well as budding DIY’ers looking to renovate.
