Manufacturing Process

Sussex Taps takes pride in being an Australian Manufacturer of World Class tapware.

Vertical integration of our manufacturing processes has always been the primary objective in achieving a high efficiency of production, and in turn allows for our strict quality standards to be met and maintained. The ability to process raw materials to manufacture CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machined componentry has been the secret of our growth and success in a diminishing local manufacturing industry.

Using the highest quality European Tubing, and combined with our locally made componentry, guarantees all users of our tapware the highest of quality and performance satisfaction.

Sussex Taps manufactures its tapware on site, controlling all the processes possible required to make highest quality Tapware possible.
