The public washroom is one of the most intimate shared spaces in public life. It quietly communicates dignity, care and safety — or it doesn't. For over a century, Bobrick has been the trusted standard for the people who design, build, and maintain these spaces.
The Bobrick family of companies — Bobrick, Koala Kare Products and Thrislington Cubicles — are stewards of the public washroom, empowering architects, designers, specifiers, and facility managers to create a human-centric and more thoughtful era of shared space design. Through partnerships with industry thinkers, evidence-based innovation and thoughtful product engineering, we support the next generation of commercial washroom designers to create spaces that meet the needs of all people.
