Roca Group is pleased to announce it has acquired Idral, an Italian manufacturer that specialises in self-closing faucets and taps for public and semi-public spaces.
This significantly strengthens Roca Group’s faucets division, enhancing its position in the market for public and communal bathrooms, such as schools, hospitals and the hospitality industry.
Boasting 50 years of experience, Idral is the leading supplier of public bathroom taps in Italy, specialising in a wide range of products, including electronic, self-closing and pedal taps.

Idral is also a leader in smart tap technology, offering solutions such as self-closing thermostatic cartridges and sensor taps. Its portfolio of products both complements Roca Group’s existing lines and offers potential for growth in this sector across Europe.
Roca Group has been assisted in this transaction by KPMG and Baker McKenzie. Idral Group has been assisted by Alisea Corporate Finance and by Tonucci & Partners.
