About us
A lot of living happens in bathrooms, from starting the day to starting a journey.
A place for make-up and making up. Where we take time and care, capturing moments of beauty and beautiful moments.
It’s why we put people at the centre of everything we do. For those who know and for those who don’t know any better.
For the everyday people who use these spaces and for the people who use their experience to design them. It’s more than just making products that are well designed and beautiful. It’s about adapting to the ever-evolving demands of how we live.
At Caroma, we produce more than just toilets. We create solutions made for everyday living, for now and in the future.
Designed For Living. Built For Life
We understand that beautiful spaces need to be designed for living, so we purposefully create our product ranges with a single vision; to work for you.
Simple, stunning designs that are quality built and will stand the test of time. We're here to make the choice easy, so you can get on with living.
Design Minds
Design Is Our Lifeblood
Caroma products are beautiful to look at, brilliantly efficient and a pleasure to use. Our team of talented designers understands the Caroma customer better than anyone. At the same time, they are at the forefront of local and international shifts in design to ensure that the products we bring to market match New Zealanders expectations and their signature way of life.
As our country’s tastes have evolved, so too have our designs. As a result, we’ve set trends and celebrated a range Australia/New Zealand and international accolades.
