A Legacy of Durability: The TEMPOSTOP Turns 40

Since its launch in 1983, the TEMPOSTOP tap has become a hallmark of reliability in public spaces. Over four decades, DELABIE has consistently championed longevity and repairability in its products, defying market trends that prioritize short-term gains. As the TEMPOSTOP celebrates its 40th anniversary, DELABIE takes another bold step forward, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and product excellence.

Extending Our Warranty: 30 Years of Confidence

Ten years of warranty wasn’t enough. To further encourage sustainable choices, DELABIE has extended its warranty from 10 to 30 years across all product lines. This enhancement underscores our unwavering dedication to durability, vandal resistance, and high-performance materials.

Based in Friville, Northern France, the production process ensures each product undergoes meticulous quality control, reinforcing our promise of excellence. This warranty extension even includes our sensor taps, proving that innovation and longevity go hand in hand.

Repairability: 50 Years and Counting

In an era of disposable products, DELABIE stands apart. They believe the best way to minimize waste is to extend a product’s lifecycle through easy repairs. Delabie universal interchangeable tap heads, a defining feature of our brand, allow users to replace only the necessary parts, not the entire unit.

Public spaces present unique challenges—vandalism, frequent usage, and high turnover. For instance, motorway service area taps can experience up to 2,500 daily uses. In response, from January 2024, DELABIE commits to providing spare parts for all technical products for 50 years.

By reducing the need for new manufacturing, Delabie helps conserve rare metals such as copper (a key component of brass) and minimize the energy-intensive recycling and transportation processes.

Sustainable Design: A Message from Luc DELABIE

Luc DELABIE, CEO of the Group, highlights the importance of genuine sustainability:

"Many products are designed with a short lifespan and falsely marketed as recyclable, obscuring their real environmental impact. Rather than focusing on component recycling, which remains environmentally taxing, it's better to create high-quality, durable, and easily repairable products. All DELABIE products are designed to last for decades, with spare parts available for 50 years."

A Culture of Repair: Saving Costs and Resources

DELABIE supplies an average of 150,000 spare parts every year, ensuring that thousands of products are repaired instead of discarded. Their design philosophy prioritizes easy disassembly and reassembly, saving customers significantly on replacement costs.

For example, instead of replacing a TEMPOMATIC 4 electronic mixer due to a malfunction, simply swapping out the solenoid valve can be up to 70% more cost-effective.

Expert Support for Hassle-Free Repairs

Repairing a product is easier with the right expertise. DELABIE provides a wealth of resources on its website, offering comprehensive installation guides and technical support without needing registration. Additionally, the network of responsive local technicians is always available to assist, ensuring smooth repairs for professionals and end-users alike.

Moreover, DELABIE prioritizes fast delivery of spare parts—any ordered component leaves our factory the same day, minimizing downtime and inconvenience.

DELABIE: Built to Last, Committed to Sustainability

With a 30-year warranty and 50-year repairability commitment, DELABIE continues to lead the way in durable, high-quality sanitary solutions. By choosing long-lasting, repairable products, we contribute to a more sustainable future—because the most environmentally responsible choice stands the test of time.
