Can quality standards be passed down the generations? Certainly in Olpe. 

A leader in fittings technology for 75 years: SCHELL. 

Factory 1 

Production with administration building and training centre 

Who would have thought: When Hubert Schell registered his first 

patent in 1932, you had to expect anything due to the global economic 

crisis of the time – except for someone laying the foundation stone 

for a company that has been exceedingly successful. Today, SCHELL 

employs 450 staff across the world and is regarded as one of the 

leading manufacturers of fittings for building construction. 

The reasons for this success story are multi-faceted: entrepreneurial 

courage, no-compromise product quality, complete production »Made 

in Olpe«, intensive partnerships with retail and plumbers – and not 

least our staff, who have made a major contribution over 75 years with 

their ideas, commitment and expectations of quality. 

How do you benefit? Quite simply: perfect solutions to all aspects of 

intelligent fitting technology. Measure us against our claim.

If you have a water protection area outside of your factory gates, then 

you have been automatically bestowed the responsibility for nature and 

future generations.

The dam was built between

SCHELL represents sustainability »Made in Olpe«. 

Sustainability is the most natural thing in the world for SCHELL – and has been 

the case for over 75 years. Ultimately, Hubert Schell founded a company not just 

anywhere, but in the middle of the Sauerland Olpe. Surrounded by grassland, 

forest and numerous waterways. This rubs off in the best sense. For SCHELL, 

economic success and a respectful approach to nature have always been aspects 

of corporate philosophy, long before the subject of sustainability became a hotly 

discussed topic. You can discover what sustainability »Made in Olpe« means here.

Company policy at SCHELL: comprehensive quality tests. 

Water-efficient, long-lasting and 

hygienic product solutions. 

A sensible approach to using 

drinking water is particularly important 

for us in terms of sustainability. 

Elaborate technologies 

allow SCHELL products to save 

up to 60 % water. Furthermore, 

top quality all-metal materials and 

robust design ensure an extremely 

long service life and provide the 

best protection against vandalism. 

Just as important, particularly 

for public sanitary rooms: 

the topic of hygiene. And this is 

where SCHELL is impressive with 

a variety of solutions. An example 

of this is the fact that we only use 

materials suitable for contact with 

drinking water. We offer contactfree 

controls for wash basin fittings, 

urinals and WCs. Solutions 

with integrated stagnation flush 

are just as a matter of course as 

are thermostatic disinfection for 

eradicating legionella. 

Plant 2 

Production with logistics centre 

Resource-efficient processes and 

product recycling. 

SCHELL represents fittings technology 

»Made in Olpe«. And you 

can take our word for it: As all our 

production processes take place 

in both our plants in the Sauerland. 

This saves us considerably in 

terms of logistics costs and helps 

nature by preventing avoidable 

environmental damage. We even 

give due consideration to sustainability 

when using materials. An 

example of this is the fact that 

all brass swarf and burr from the 

production processes are collected 

and returned to the brass 

manufacturer. And for the unlikely 

event that SCHELL fittings have 

to be replaced with new ones, it is 

guaranteed that the plumber will 

collect the old fittings for recycling 

purposes.

SCHELL inside. 

System solutions from the expert. 

SCHELL fittings belong in all 

places where robust, hygienic and 

resource-efficient solutions are 

needed: such as in public, semipublic 

and commercial sanitary 

rooms with a high frequency. 

Depending on whether in schools, 

hotels, stadiums or motorway 

service stations. And maybe also 

in your project very soon.

SCHELL is synonymous with sustainable solutions. 

And this is now official too. 

WELL, the new efficiency label of the European valve industry. 

With its intelligent valve technologies, 

SCHELL has been proving for 

many years how to achieve sustainable 

solutions with regard to water 

consumption, hygiene and product 

quality. And this is now official too. 

In order to provide planners and 

developers with a neutral orientation 

aid, the European valve industry 

(EUnited Valves) has now 

developed a new, informative and 

most importantly standardised 

product classification label that 

indicate the saving potential of a 

fitting in a bold and striking manner. 

The basis for the qualification 

of each fitting, is compliance with 

applicable European norms and 

standards. This is tested and 

approved by an accredited, independent 

test institute (EN ISO/ICE 

17025) as part of the type exami- 

nation test. This ensures that only 

materials are used that are not 

hazardous in terms of hygiene and 

whose functional safety has been 

proven in an endurance test. 

Compliance with drinking water 

hygiene has the utmost priority. 

With the first WELL-classified fittings, 

SCHELL is documenting its 

very high aspirations on quality 

and proving that minimal water 

consumption for fittings and 

sustainability are not at odds with 

compliance with drinking water 

hygiene directives.

target-group-specific marketing 

or top quality sanitary technologies 

and products? Just a few of 

the questions to which we provide 

comprehensive answers in 

our seminars. The combination of 

well-presented theory and realistic 

practical situations provides 

you with the tools to use the 

knowledge conveyed quickly and

SCHELL – fittings technology 

»Made in Olpe«. 

One thing is particularly important 

when building or renovating 

sanitary rooms: Being able to trust 

the efficiency of the people and 

companies involved. Do the products 

deliver what they promise? 

Can you rely on promises? Are 

customer preferences significant? 

These are just a few important 

question but when put together, 

all things on which company 

founder Hubert Schell has already 

placed special emphasis. And 

have made the once small forge 

in Sauerland to an internationally 

successful brand within 75 years. 

This is also an obligation for us to 

make the SCHELL brand accessible 

to you. At trade fairs, at the point 

of sale, via information materials 

or on the internet – and most 

importantly by our staff. Take us 

at our word.
