Salini: Art Embodied in Premium Plumbing
Salini is a brand of plumbing fixtures, bathroom furniture, and accessories founded in Italy. Its product range includes bathtubs, sinks, shower trays, designer furniture, mirrors, and bathroom accessories. The company positions itself as a premium brand and creates unique products that combine thoughtful user comfort, attractive aesthetics, and excellent quality.
Company History
The Salini brand was founded in Milan in the 18th century. In 2016, Pavel Patalakhov and his partners opened the company of the same name with the assistance of Italian experts. Local craftsmen shared their experience, knowledge, and technologies in the plumbing industry, as well as their creative approach. That same year, the company was localized in Russia and received numerous positive reviews from the domestic audience.
Currently, Salini's representative office in Russia handles key functions related to production and distribution, while the Italian office coordinates the company's international operations. This synergy allows for effective business management, rapid response to market changes, and the provision of high-quality products to customers worldwide.

His plumbing collections regularly receive enthusiastic audience response and prestigious international awards.
