Celebrating 50 Years of Feel-Good Showering
After five decades at the forefront of the industry, Triton has sold tens of millions of showers and built a team of over 250 hard-working and passionate individuals. We’ve powered Britain’s mornings, refreshed tired evenings, and transformed daily routines into moments of enjoyment.
This year, we celebrate 50 years of making feel-good showers for all—ensuring that every drop makes a difference.
Our Story
In 1975, we were born in a garage. In 2021, we’re in bathrooms everywhere.
Originally called Triton Aquatherm Ltd and based in Atherstone, Warwickshire, we share our proud yet humble garage origins with the likes of Apple, Microsoft and JCB.
Back in 1975, who would’ve thought that one shower unit design would lead to us being market leader today?
A Journey from a Garage in Atherstone to a Market Leader
Triton was originally founded in 1975 as Triton Aquatherm Ltd in a garage in Atherstone, Warwickshire. What started as a single idea led us to where we are today—a trusted name found in bathrooms across the UK.
In 1986, we officially became Triton Showers before joining Norcros Holdings Ltd in 1987. By the late ‘80s, over 2 million Triton shower units had found their place in UK homes—a number that continues to rise year after year. Today, we remain firmly at the forefront of showering technology, setting industry standards and ensuring that every product reflects our passion for excellence.
The Secret Behind a Household Favourite
Why are Triton a trusted brand and a customer favourite? It all starts with a great product. Exceptional quality attracts exceptional talent—designers, engineers, and customer service professionals—all dedicated to delivering outstanding solutions. We have always listened closely to our customers, ensuring that our showers are easy to fit and built for lasting reliability.
Beyond design and engineering, accessibility matters. We ensure our products remain easy to find, easy to install, and easy to enjoy.
As a proud British manufacturer, we were honoured to join the ‘Made in Britain’ scheme in 2014—an initiative that champions British manufacturing and reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards.
Sustainability at the Heart of Every Shower
Innovation is at the core of our identity, but we believe true progress goes beyond just style and performance—it means making a difference where it matters most. That’s why sustainability is now built into everything we do:
• Less water. Less energy. Less carbon.
• By 2015, we achieved zero waste to landfill.
• By 2035, we’re aiming for carbon net zero.
Every drop counts, and every action we take reflects our dedication to creating a more sustainable future. Our mission is to help people across the UK embrace more eco-friendly showering, reducing energy consumption without compromising on comfort or experience.
Recognised Excellence & Forward-Thinking Innovation
Through the years, we have built strong partnerships and earned numerous awards and accreditations—including, most recently, the King’s Award for Enterprise. Triton was one of only 29 businesses in the UK that year to receive the award in recognition of our commitment to Sustainable Development. But we’re just getting started. We’re continuously pushing boundaries, designing the showers of the future, today—smarter, more sustainable, more stylish, and more innovative than ever before.
Our vision for the next generation of showers focuses on advanced technology and meaningful design, with sustainability always at the heart. Whether it’s using cutting-edge engineering to improve efficiency or crafting products that complement the modern home, every Triton shower is designed with our users in mind.
In 1986 the business became Triton Showers before being acquired by Norcros Holdings Ltd in 1987. By the late 1980’s, there were over 2 million Triton shower products in UK homes - a figure that’s only grown and grown year on year.
So what’s the secret to becoming such a customer favourite and household name?
Well, you have to have a great product otherwise you won’t attract a great team to design, engineer and serve such a loyal customer base. We’ve always listened intently to what professional installers want from our showers too - ease of installation and unrivalled reliability being key.
Our products are always easy to find too. From DIY stores to electrical wholesalers, merchants to home shopping - plus a huge online presence too.
As a proud British manufacturer, we were delighted to become a member of the ‘Made in Britain’ scheme - a body that champions British manufacturing - in 2014.
Cause for even more celebration was turning 40 back in May 2015. But we aren’t about to start kicking back into middle age - far from it. We remain as passionate and dedicated as ever to bringing our customers incredible style and functionality at an affordable price.
2021 marked the start of arguably the biggest period of transformation in our history. A new, comprehensive sustainability drive will see us leave no stone unturned in our quest to be carbon net-zero and provide customers with ever more efficient products.
In August 2021 we achieved the Carbon Trust Standard for Carbon, followed up by Carbon Neutral status in 2022, underlining our commitment to reduce carbon emissions year on year, as part of our ambition to achieve carbon net zero alignment by 2028.
