With innovative ideas and high-quality products and systems, Schlüter-Systems KG is the world market leader for numerous solutions around tiles. The company, headquartered in Iserlohn, Germany, offers processors practical and safe innovations for the installation and processing of ceramic tiles as well as natural stone slabs.
The foundation for the company’s success story was laid in 1966 with the founding of a tile installation company, which fully picked up speed in 1975. In that year, company founder Werner Schlüter, himself a master tiler, developed the ideal solution for a clean edge finish on tiles and slabs in the form of Schlüter®-Schiene, which is now known worldwide. Since then, not only the product but also the company has developed into a real brand: When it comes to finishing tile coverings, the name Schlüter is taken for granted today.
In addition, innovative solutions for balcony and terrace coverings made of ceramic or natural stone, systems for barrier-free showers, heated and unheated floor constructions, decoupling and drainage solutions as well as a universal tile laying substrate are also part of the extensive portfolio of the family-run company. Added to this is a range of high-quality profiles with integrated LED lighting. The motto for newly developed products is always „From practice for practice“ in order to create the greatest possible added value for installers.
In total, the range includes well over 10,000 different saleable products. Approximately 2,700 employees at the headquarters in Iserlohn, in various European service offices and in the seven international subsidiaries ensure that national and international customers receive the best possible service. This is how Schlüter-Systems ensures „More fun with tiles“ worldwide.
