Franklins European Bathrooms Goes into Liquidation
New Zealand- Auckland-based, family-owned bathroom ware and plumbing supplies business Franklins has gone into liquidation. The company supplied plumbers and builders from a centralised warehouse in East Tamaki after consolidating its previous six sites in and around Pukekohe in 2020. It operated eight plumbing and bathroom branches across the North Island. A notice on the company’s website today stated that the business had been placed in liquidation and all branches, except for Franklins Wellington, were closed until further notice. Franklins imported 14 exclusive brands from Europe, including Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Turkey. These brands included Valdama, Hansa, Bette, and Vitra, offering products such as tapware, basins, baths, showers, and toilets. Additionally, Franklins created its own bathroom and plumbing home brands, including The Urban Collection, JCT, and Eton.
