History of Raymor Tapware

A Long History
Raymor Tapware is an Australian tapware manufacturer that has been operating in Australia since 1947. Until 1995, the company was privately owned and the products distributed exclusively through the company’s own plumbing supplies stores, Raymor Plumbing Supplies. In 1995, the manufacturing plants and Raymor stores were acquired by G E Crane and Sons. Raymor Tapware is now the private brand of Crane Distribution’s Plumbing Supplies Stores, Tradelink Plumbing centres.


Quality and Design Excellence
Raymor Tapware products have received many prestigious design awards. Some examples of the company’s leading designs include:

• Being the first in Australia to develop the thermal barrier which prevents heat transference to the handle.
• Being the first in Australia to successfully develop the present day plastic jumper valve.
• Being the first in Australia to develop single hole mixer products.

Raymor Tapware taps are on permanent display in the Museum of Arts and Sciences, New South Wales (The Powerhouse Museum) as excellent examples of Australian design.

All products within the range comply with the company’s strict criteria of simple, yet classical design, excellent function, fine engineering, low maintenance and value for money. Many of Australia’s outstanding contemporary buildings have had these same criteria applied to their fittings, and Raymor Tapware has been the first choice.
