Newport Brass, a manufacturer of brass faucets and accessories for the kitchen and bath, has announced it is incorporating more products and designs from its sister brand GINGER into the Newport Brass product line.

Matco-Norca now offers a new Padova single-handle culinary kitchen faucet in both chrome and stainless steel finishes. 

They describe the showroom as a “premiere design resource” that displays “a curated selection of products sourced worldwide that deliver superior style and features, authentically crafted using the best materials.”

Elkay was founded in Chicago in 1920 by Chairman of the Board of Directors Ron Katz’s grandfather, Leopold Katz, a carpenter by trade, and Ellef Robarth, a tinsmith. They met while working for Litterer Brothers Mfg. Co., a company that supplied sinks. Together they founded Elkay (a mashup of their two names), bringing together their different experiences.

A new survey by the Delta Faucet brand revealed that U.S. homeowners feel especially drawn to their kitchens. They’re willing to dish out thousands of dollars to update this area of the home. However, despite their willingness to transform this space, homeowners dread nearing the sink area where the dish duties lie.

Ruvati injects color into the grey world of stainless steel with their new Terraza Collection of modern farmhouse kitchen sinks.

New product development fuels growth of Quebec-based company.
