Our Mission
Industrie Tapware brings impeccable style, world-class engineering and exceptionally priced products to bathrooms, kitchens and discerning residential and commercial spaces in Australia. As a design resource, we offer extensive collections to all members of the public and an exclusive service to the renovation industry. We are a one-stop renovation shop that encompasses tapware, bathtubs, basins, vanities, toilets, tiles, accessories and more. Industrie Tapware subscribes to four principles that guide everything that we do.
Our Approach
Local and global design
Our products are designed in Australia with our lifestyle in mind. We work with a hand-selected group of ethical manufacturers in China who align with our values and who we have longstanding relationships with. At the same time our tapware internals showcase the best of European ingenuity.
Exclusive offering
Our strong manufacturing relationships mean we are able to offer both you and your clients an exclusive, high-quality product at amazing value. This is further facilitated by eliminating a retail middleman from our business model. Providing support to the industry is our sole focus.
Safety and reliability
Every batch of Industrie Tapware is independently tested in Australia to ensure we’re providing your clients with the safest taps possible. Our products come with industry-leading warranties, meet Australian safety standards and are WaterMark and WELS certified. You can rely on the safety of our products.
Personable Service
Our tight-knit team is dedicated to offering our clients friendly, focused and customised service. We are agile enough to adapt our product line according to the needs of our customers, and to offer speedy deliveries around the country from our website. In short, we're totally adaptable and flexible.
Meet the team
Ryan Comerford
Founder & CEO
As our name attests, Industrie Tapware is predicated on servicing the renovation industry. With a background in scrap metal recycling and international trading and an affinity for renovating homes in Sydney, founder Ryan Comerford identified a gap in the market and launched the brand in 2018. “Most tapware had to be purchased through retail outlets that rarely, if at all, passed on discounts to the industry,” he says, explaining the genesis of the wholesale brand.
“Designers, architects, boutique builders and bathroom renovations companies were selecting fittings and constructing homes and not getting any direct support from any manufacturers. That didn’t square with me.” Ryan designed Industrie Tapware as a way to sustain small and medium-sized enterprises in the building sector with a polished array of well-priced products. “We see the direct impact of not only helping to change their businesses but also their lives,” he adds.
Akea Scott
Interior Designer
Dream Bathroom: “My dream bathroom is inspired by Balinese bathing spaces. Think natural stone wall and floor tiles, timber vanity, a big stone bath to soak away the stresses.”
Favourite Finish: “I love the impact and elegance of brushed gunmetal. It’s bold, engaging and versatile. When paired with warm tones it adds rich contrast and depth.”
Katharina O'Donnell
Interior Designer
Dream bathroom: “I have so much fun creating dramatic powder rooms for my clients. Playing with sumptuous finishes and adding texture with interesting splashbacks."
Favourite finish: “Our raw brass collection looks incredible in a moody-luxe bathroom. I also appreciate that it’s the most eco-friendly finish and comes in its natural state.”
Susan Alexander-Case
Accounts Manager
Dream bathroom: “I love traditional bathrooms with chandeliers hanging over freestanding baths, panelled walls, wall sconces and glamorous mirrors.”
Wow tiles: “Marble tiles, especially when laid in a herringbone or chevron pattern. We have marble mosaics that add personality, style and elegance to a room.”
