From Local Beginnings to European Excellence
From Local Beginnings to European Excellence
Founded in 1954 in Pukekohe, Auckland, Franklins started as a local bathroom fixtures and plumbing supplies wholesaler. Under the leadership of Peter Smith and his sons, Howard and Stephen, it evolved into a leading supplier of European bathroomware in New Zealand. Known for direct partnerships with prestigious European brands, Franklins specialises in high-quality bathroom fittings, luxury bathtubs, designer tapware, and innovative plumbing solutions, setting new industry standards in design, quality, and innovation. Now, Stephen and his sons James, Connor, and Trent continue the family's legacy.
Franklins Outlet emerged to manage an extensive inventory of European bathroom products, including end-of-line, overstocked, and discontinued items. By continually updating our stock with the latest designs, we offer these high-quality products at significantly reduced prices. The outlet features a diverse range of bathroom fixtures like high-end vanities, shower enclosures, luxury bathtubs, and designer tapware. It enables New Zealanders to access premium European bathroomware at outlet prices, ideal for home renovations, commercial bathroom updates, or finding budget-friendly, quality bathroom essentials, without compromising on design or quality.
