Manufacturing a Tres tap: from design to customer

At Tres, we have been manufacturing faucets for over half a century from our headquarters in Vallirana (Barcelona). Each product is the result of the perfect balance between design, technology, and a philosophy based on full control of the production process. From the first sketch to the final delivery, every step reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and responsible design.

Design and engineering

Everything starts with an idea. Our design team creates pieces that combine aesthetics, ergonomics, and efficiency. Once the concept is defined, the technical office brings it to life: developing molds, defining materials, and refining processes to ensure precision and durability. At Tres, design and engineering always go hand in hand.

Casting and machining

The faucet body is made from high-quality brass with a low lead content to ensure safety and sustainability. In the foundry, automated systems shape the material, remove impurities, and prepare the base for the product. Then, during machining, technical adjustments are made to ensure each component fits with millimetric precision.

Polishing and finishing

Aesthetics are also part of engineering. Polishing robots and skilled operators work together to achieve a flawless surface, ready for finishing. Our Tres-Micron© process guarantees a uniform, bright, and corrosion-resistant chrome coating, with 10–12 microns of nickel and 0.25–0.35 microns of chrome. We also apply special finishes — such as matte black, gold, or steel — that add personality and character to every collection.

Quality control and assembly

Before leaving the factory, every piece undergoes rigorous tests: pressure and temperature resistance, watertightness, noise, and durability. Only those that pass all controls move on to final assembly, where cartridges, handles, and hoses are fitted with handcrafted precision. Each faucet is marked with a reference number ensuring complete traceability.

Logistics and customer service

From our automated warehouse in Vallirana, we ship products to over 60 countries with maximum efficiency. Once installed, our multilingual and specialized customer service team provides technical support and personalized advice, ensuring every user enjoys a complete Tres experience.
