KVK

KVK Corporation is a Japanese water-related fixtures manufacturer founded in 1939 as Kitamura Casting Works in Nagoya, beginning with the production of valve cocks. Renamed Kitamura Valve Co., Ltd. in 1949 and later becoming KVK, the company has grown as a dedicated fixture maker creating comfortable water use in bathrooms, kitchens, lavatories and utility spaces.

Today its product range covers bath, kitchen and lavatory faucets, water supply faucets, piping components and parts, supported by an online shop and water purifier cartridge supplies. The company established JIS-approved factories from 1958 onward, pioneered wall-mounted mixing faucets, showers and thermostatic products, and set up a production subsidiary in Dalian, China in 1989. Its shares moved to the Tokyo Stock Exchange JASDAQ market, and KVK continues to pursue new value creation from water with a customer-first perspective.
