Today, it is the indisputable leader in its category between Argentina and the remainder of the Latin-American markets.

The history of the company was originated in Attendorn, Germany. In the second half of the nineteenth century, when Franz Viegner founded his firm “Franz Viegner II” by engraving his initials FV as a brand for his products.

His son Franz Viegner immigrated to Argentina in 1921, the same year in which FV S.A. was founded. Since then, the Viegner family has continued to lead the company with the utmost dedication by following up their origins in bronze and valve manufacturing. FV has continued its growth relentlessly since it’s beginning.

In Argentina, FV owns a factory near the city of Pilar that is located only 60 km from Buenos Aires. The facilities satisfy a wide spectrum of faucet products and occupy an area of sixty thousand square meters where around 3500 different articles are made. FV also has branches in the most important cities in Argentina and counts with 9500 square meters of commercial offices in Florida, Buenos Aires.

FV is one of the few argentine companies with an industrial design department dedicated exclusively to the creation of new products.

Concepts like quality, design and service are common goals for each employee. Nowadays, FV Argentina has more than 1300 people working in its integrated facilities.

At FV, quality is culture, that is why we adopted ISO regulation 9001:2000. Foreign regulating companies award this regulation under contractual conditions including daily check ups on our quality assurance system, design and development, production, commercialization and post-sales services.
