Fifteen years ago, Sustainable Solutions emerged from coastal Vancouver, one of North America's densest, most ethnically diverse and exciting cities. Known as the greenest city in the world, Vancouver features a dense urban landscape that merges seamlessly with pristine wilderness and easy access to endless outdoor activities. The Vancouver paradigm lies in a deep-rooted interconnection between nature and urban life, creating a balanced approach to modern living. This constant quest for life balance has created balance in the design elements of our brands. Beauty is important but must be weighted with the equally important pillars of performance and sustainability.
While Sustainable Solutions’ products and values may have developed in the West, they are now showcased all across North America in projects such as Rem Koolhaas in Manhattan, Ritz Carltons in Tysons Corner, DC and Amelia Island, FLA or the multitude of Tridel projects across Ontario.
Sustainable Solutions offers a brand portfolio that delivers on both design and performance while offering exceptional and innovative end-to-end service. Designers, developers and engineers are specifying Caroma North America, fluid and SSI products into thousands of hospitality, government and mid- to high-end and luxury condominiums. Demand is continuing to grow exponentially as Sustainable Solutions’ commitment to adaptability, sustainability and a passion for service excellence remains at the forefront of the company values.
Sustainable Solutions is the high-growth plumbing fixture manufacturer that developers, designers and builders are talking about.
