MGS Design and MGS USA TRUE Stainless Steel Faucet Collections--Great Italian Designs and Materials That Stand the Test of Time.
MGS USA, the American importer of MGS Progetti, the Italian-based manufacturer of stainless steel faucets for the kitchen and bath, introduces its newest collection for spring of 2005 at KBIS. Plumbing fixtures for the kitchen and bathroom, fabricated from stainless steel.
Studio City, CA (PRWEB) May 31, 2005 -- Working with stainless steel to
create faucetry with seamless fittings and concealed fasteners is as much of an
art form as it is an act of precise technology and mechanical ingenuity.
Grovellona Toce near Lake Orta, located outside of Milano, Italy is a small town
known for stainless steel craftsman and fabrication businesses. It is the
location of MGS Progetti, also referred to as MGS Designs in North America.
There are other recognized stainless steel products that are produced on Lake
Orta, such as Alessi.
In 1997, MGS started producing high quality
faucets for consumers with extreme attention to detail and design. After some
time, they realized that it was necessary to make a fundamental change from
chrome plated brass, which was traditionally used in the industry. The thought
was to create faucets and fixtures from stainless steel, a noble metal that is
unalterable, non-toxic, non-corrosive and high temperature resistant. Although
making faucets out of stainless steel posed many problems during manufacturing,
the company still persevered. In 2001, MGS began producing the UNICO faucet,
which became recognized as the “Rolls Royce” of faucets in Europe.
The
first stainless steel product designs proved to be complicated, but MGS was
still determined to find another way to produce their faucets. While most other
manufacturers only finish their products to look like stainless steel because of
the complexity and cost of engineering and production, MGS continued with their
commitment.
After four years of research, MGS discovered and developed a new
application of Investment Casting Technology that was predominantly used for
high tech parts in the aviation, aerospace and medical industries. Using the
most progressive machines available, each part is seamless and smooth, without
the use of screws. The result is a product that is one hundred percent stainless
steel. After the mechanical fabrication, the final touch is given by expert
polishers who hand finish each single part to an impeccable shine or soft luster
of natural brushed stainless steel.
“MGS offers a truly unique product,”
says Eric Goldman, National Sales Manager, MGS USA. “Each faucet that MGS
develops takes time and precision, and is made with the finest stainless steel
materials in the world. Many of our clients in the yachting industry use MGS
products for their durability and non-corrosive materials.”
MGS’s 2005
collection consists of minimal designs for both kitchen and bathroom faucets.
The kitchen line consists of three-hole and single hole varieties, while the
bathroom line includes 2-valve and single control faucets. Each faucet can be
wall or deck mounted, and is available in polished and matte
finishes.
Kitchen Collection
The choice of professional chefs who
insist on incorporating the durability and quality of commercial stainless steel
fixtures found in the world’s finest kitchens. MGS introduces premium quality
solid stainless steel faucets designed for residential kitchens and food-prep
work islands.
The UNICO, RANDA K, VELA and T45 models offer a pull out
spout with stainless steel flexible hose. The spout is equipped with an
anti-lime aerator and a check-valve that prevents the back-flow of impure water.
Also available for the kitchen, the BOMA, RANDA, RANDA KL and VELA L
collections.
Bath Collection
MGS has developed a stylized collection
of fixtures and accessories for the bath that are simple in design,
sophisticated in style, and highly innovative in functionality. Another
innovation is that MGS provides a stainless steel “rough-in” kit that allows the
installer the ability prepare the shower or tub valve locations and connections
in advance, and the set the fixtures once the final tile or stone surfaces are
in place.
New Thermostatic Shower Column or Tub/Shower
Combination
MGS’s newest shower valve is offered as an “exposed” and
“in-wall” Thermostatic mixer. The valve incorporates a volume control that is
operated independently of the temperature control. The shower set includes a
matching shower head and arm that is also designed from stainless
steel.
MGS is one of the only “true stainless steel” fixture manufactures
offering products in North America. MGS USA is the exclusive importer of MGS
fixtures for the bathroom, outdoors and kitchen. Products are available through
a network of dealers located through out the United States and Canada. Visit www.mgsdesigns.com or contact
