Hervy founded in 1884 São Paulo city, the heart of South Hemisphere, was the first company to manufacture sanitary ware in Latin America.

Hervy traces its beginnings to its founder Antonio Agu who transformed a simple pottery factory into a sanitary ware manufacturing complex employing the most advanced processes in the production of ceramics. His vision still guides the company and has culminated in the recognition of Hervy as one of the leading producers of sanitary ware.

As a result of substantial growth and its quest to maintain leading edge technology and processes, Hervy in 1996 moved to a new state of the art, 35,000 square meter factory in the vibrant city of Taubaté in São Paulo state, strategically located between the two largest metropolitan areas of Brazil - São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with prompt access to the Santos port, Brazilian largest gateway to the world.

The Hervy mission is the attainment of excellence through technical advancements combined with social responsibility and respect for the environment.

Hervy is a pioneer in Brazil in the utilization of technologies aimed at reducing the usage of water in sanitary ware and has been very active in developing new lines that use significantly less water in each flush cycle.

Consistent with its commitment to environmental concerns, Hervy produces these new products in modern, energy efficient kilns. Hervy utilizes three English Drayton ovens which allow for the continuous production of 135,000 units per month concurrent with the intermittent production of an additional 65.000 units per month, for a total monthly productive capacity off 200,000 units.
