Several decades ago, Rotterdam-born Henri Peteri worked for Unilever, and during a visit to the head office in London he had an idea that would change his life forever. It all happened during a presentation about instant soup, when discussions centred around how soup could be dissolved in boiling water in just five seconds, but you’d have to heat the water for five minutes. Peteri thought. 'That's stupid! Why can't we get boiling water from the mixer tap in our homes instead?'
When he got home, Peteri went down into his basement and started developing a prototype of the first boiling-water tap in the world. It took a lot of time and money, but when the first model was made, Peteri sold it to some of his friends and acquaintances, who loved the idea instantly. Once people used a Quooker tap, they realised they couldn’t live without it.
In 2022 Quooker worked on a new tap with a revolutionary ergonomic front design, which was inspired by a design by Henri Peteri from 1976, which had a wide tube as a tap and the controls on the head which offers easy access to the water flow. Following successful prototypes being tested across a wide range of settings, a fantastic new tap was born.
Quooker had started the development of the CUBE back in 2010 with the vision to transform the Quooker tap into an all-in-one hydration station, offering chilled, filtered, and sparkling water at your fingertips, fast forward to 2018 and this became a reality!
This was truly a revolution in the kitchen world providing customers with boiling water, hot and cold water in a mixer tap, and now with the Quooker CUBE, you can also enjoy chilled and sparkling water. The tap that does it all was born.
Now, Quooker produces 300,000 Quooker-systems a year with factories in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Norway, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland and Portugal.
