Investing in the future means looking far ahead to seize the growth opportunities that arise.
Values such as Made in Italy, sustainability and artisanal product care have allowed our company to grow, responding in the best way to a rapidly expanding market, in Italy and abroad.
At Bongio we always embrace new green approaches, to continue improving and bring our enthusiasm from Lake Orta to the rest of the world.

Our green facility on Lake Orta

NEW SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES

Our green facility on Lake Orta

For the construction of our facility we adopted the most advanced sustainable technologies and used 100% renewable sources, paying particular attention to the choice of materials, functionality and energy efficiency.

A photovoltaic system allows us to independently generate part of the energy needed for production. Insulated walls enriched by a vertical garden improve thermal and acoustic insulation of the spaces.

These architectural solutions were designed to guarantee first and foremost the well-being and safety of our employees, who benefit from comfortable indoor spaces in every season.

Managing energy optimally means making our business ever more competitive, reducing external energy dependency and polluting emissions.

Our Pillars

01
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Respect for the planet is at the heart of our philosophy; that is why we are committed every day to developing products that combine sustainability and design. Bongio's goal is to transmit these values through everything we do, from the design of individual items to the improvements made to our headquarters. Our team is constantly updated on developments in eco-compatible design, to find the solutions best suited to contemporary needs while maintaining a low environmental impact.
02
PLASTIC-FREE PACKAGING
The commitment to the environment is reflected in the sustainable choices at the heart of every product. By reducing the use of plastic from all packaging, Bongio contributes to a more conscious use of natural resources, from production to shipping, using renewable and natural materials. Each product comes in a reusable cotton pouch, without plastic or other synthetic fibres.
03
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Every Bongio product comes with a specific customer assistance kit (Care Kit) and a second kit entirely dedicated to the installer (Utility Kit). The Sustainability Card confirms the company's commitment to environmental sustainability. The choice of natural and fully recyclable packaging materials highlights the attention to eco-sustainability at every level.
Design and innovation at the service of water

ENERGY ECONOMY SYSTEM

Design and innovation at the service of water

Energy Economy System is a perfect mix of design and innovation at the service of a responsible and conscious use of water.

The technology allows cold water to be delivered with the lever in the central position, preventing accidental openings in hot water mode with a consequent energy saving. All basins and shower heads are equipped with an aerator with a flow limiter at 8 litres per minute, guaranteeing considerable savings without sacrificing performance.

In line with the Bonus Idrico programme, numerous collections have been renewed with 6-litre-per-minute limiters, to save even more and actively participate in safeguarding natural heritage.

The Progressive Economy System completes the range with progressive temperature control: energy, hot water and cost savings guaranteed in total respect for the environment.

Durability and reliability over time

MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION

Durability and reliability over time

We only choose the highest quality materials, carefully selected to guarantee durability and reliability over time. Noble alloys such as naval-grade 316 Stainless Steel, renowned for its resistance to corrosion and the most extreme conditions, and CW510 brass with very low lead content represent our commitment to construction excellence.

These premium materials are not a casual choice, but the result of years of research and development. They allow our products to maintain structural and aesthetic integrity even after decades of use, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising overall environmental impact.

Our dedication to quality is certified by international standards for sustainable building, attesting to our commitment to responsible practices and materials that respect the environment. Every product is the result of this philosophy: building to last, thinking of the future.

Water is not finished, but neither is it infinite.

I LOVE WATER

Water is not finished, but neither is it infinite.

Water is a precious resource. That is why we promote I LOVE WATER, a project born to raise awareness of water-saving culture and translate it into concrete actions.

Since 2008, all our bathroom and kitchen mixers and shower heads have been equipped with a maximum discharge volume flow limiter. Without compromising correct operation, we ensure a reduction in waste at both an economic and energy level, at no additional cost to the customer.

But our commitment goes beyond production. Since 2006 we have been collaborating with AMREF to build drinking water wells in Africa, where over a billion people are forced to use contaminated water. The water projects cover Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

Every year, Bongio and all its collaborators work tirelessly to donate water to those who need it. Because sustainability begins with the most precious resource we have.
