From Tradition to Innovation

Quality starts with design At Damixa, design is at the core of everything we do. It’s more than aesthetics – it’s the idea that connects form, function, and durability.

Rooted in the Danish design tradition, we focus on clean lines, honest materials, and intuitive solutions that stand the test of time – both visually and practically.

Our taps are made for real life. Designed to be used, seen, and touched – year after year.

Quality and responsibility across borders Damixa products are developed by European engineers for European needs – with durability and day-to-day function in focus.

Today, we work closely with trusted partners in and outside Europe. Our quality assurance is built on decades of experience from our own manufacturing, ensuring consistency and control in every product.

Today, responsible design is not only about form and function, but also about documentation,

transparency, and the ability to meet future environmental and quality requirements.

As part of our responsible design and operations, we follow the UN Global Compact principles, which help us work systematically with responsible business practices in areas such as human rights, labor conditions, and the environment.

Designed and tested in Denmark. Built to last

With Damixa, you get reliable products that bring design and technology together. Made for everyday life – and made to last.

About Damixa:

Founded: 1932, Odense, Denmark

Part of: FM Mattsson Group

Mission: To combine function, aesthetics, and responsibility in every product

Design that makes a Difference

Our products are developed by European engineers to last for years – tailored to European conditions and designed with a focus on responsible resource use and circularity.

Materials Used Responsibly

Material consumption represents a significant part of the overall environmental footprint, particularly in relation to resource use, circularity and climate impact. Therefore, we actively work to increase the use of recycled materials and optimise the use of different raw materials across our product ranges — including brass, stainless steel, zinc and plastics — wherever hygiene and certification requirements allow.

Recycled Brass

We continuously work to increase the proportion of recycled materials, particularly in materials where proven recycling processes already exist. For example, part of the brass used consists of recycled material, typically around 15–20% depending on product type and composition and up to 96% in selected models.

Benefits: Reduces the need for virgin raw materials and lowers CO2 emissions.

Safe Choice - Regardless of Material

All our mixers - both standard and lead-free - are approved for drinking water and meet strict Danish and European standards. Standard products contain a small amount of lead in the brass to ensure stable quality The lead content is low, fully regulated, and completely safe in use. For projects with specific health and environmental requirements, we also offer lead-free versions with less than 0.1% lead - suitable for certified buildings.

Whichever option you choose, you receive a safe, thoroughly tested, and approved product.

Water- and Energy-Saving Technologies

Smart Features, Less Waste Damixa has developed a range of smart features that help save water and energy without compromising on comfort or performance. These technologies are designed to optimise resource use, extend product life, and improve the user experience.

Combined Value

Environmental benefit: Reduced water and energy consumption supports responsible use of resources

Economic benefit: Lower utility bills through intelligent use

Ease of use: Technologies are intuitive and easy to use daily

COLD START:

Function: When the lever is centred, only cold water is delivered.

Benefits: Prevents unnecessary water heating and reduces energy consumption. Ideal for daily use such as handwashing.

ECO CLICK:

Function: A subtle resistance in the lever provides tactile feedback when opened.

Benefits: Reduces water use by up to 30%. Full flow is reached by pushing past the resistance.

TOUCHLESS-TECHNOLOGY:

Function: Infrared sensors activate water flow only when needed.

Benefits: Improves hygiene by eliminating touch and saves water by flowing only when hands are under the tap.

FLOW LIMITER:

Function: Precisely controls water flow for consistent and low consumption regardless of pressure.

Benefits: Cuts water use without sacrificing comfort or pressure experience.

RUB CLEAN:

Function: Precisely controls water flow for consistent and low consumption regardless of pressure.

Benefits: Cuts water use without sacrificing comfort or pressure experience.

INSTANT TECHNOLOGY

Function: Provides instant access to boiling water directly from the tap, making daily kitchen use more efficient.

Benefits: Reduces water and energy consumption by minimising waste of both water and heating. Fast and easy access to boiling water in daily use is also achieved.

5-Year Warranty:

We offer an extended 5-year warranty against quality and functional defects, because we have confidence in the quality and durability of our products.

Spare Parts Availability: Spare parts are available for many years after the purchase of a product — up to 10 years after a product has been discontinued. This extends the product’s lifespan and reduces the need for replacement.

Long-term approach to spare parts:

If part of your product breaks during the warranty period, you can get a genuine replacement part free of charge. That way, you don’t have to replace the entire tap - just the bit that needs fixing.

Faucet design and development

Developed and tested in Denmark

All products are developed by our engineers in Odense and qualitytested in our own laboratory. We do not only test according to current standards but consistently set higher requirements.

In-House Quality Assurance

We perform:

Wear testing

Over 20,000 cycles simulate years of daily use (One cycle equals one cloth wipe).

Corrosion testing

Exposure to a mixture of salt, acetic acid, and copper(II) chloride tests the material’s resistance to corrosion.

Sandfall Test

The surfaces are exposed to falling sand to simulate extreme impacts and ensure resistance to scratches and wear

Functional Test of Vital Components

All key parts are tested according to applicable EN standards – and often beyond the requirements.

Cartridge: Tested to a minimum of 70,000 cycles (EN817).

Shut-off: Tested to a minimum of 200,000 cycles (EN200 and EN1111).

Tests are performed at 65 °C in accordance with the standards (EN200, EN817, and EN1111).

Built to Last

Damixa products are built to withstand daily use for years.

Surface Technologies

Chrome plating - Protects against corrosion and limescale. Tested to withstand over 50,000 touches without visible wear.

PVD coating - A high-tech finish that’s just as durable and resistant to scratches and corrosion as traditional chrome.

Lacquer finish - A matte surface that retains colour and texture, is easy to clean, and reduces visible fingerprints.

Efficient Processes, Smaller Footprint

Damixa works systematically to reduce environmental impact across the supply chain - from water reuse and packaging optimisation to smarter logistics and resource recycling.

Water Reuse - Every Drop Counts

In our laboratory in Odense, we purify and reuse test water in a closed circuit. This saves resources and minimises waste, and we continuously work to reduce the total amount of water used in the testing processes.

Optimised transport – less impact, more efficiency

We optimise packaging sizes and repack at our warehouse in Odense, so fewer goods take up less space during transport — allowing more products per pallet and reducing transport volume. By packing smarter, we reduce waste, lower CO2 emissions and improve logistics efficiency. When possible, we choose sea freight, one of the most energyefficient transport methods, enabling larger volumes to be shipped with lower environmental impact.

Digital Manuals - Less Paper, More Value

QR codes on Core series provide direct access to digital manuals, cutting down paper use.

Recyclable Packaging: Only recyclable cardboard is used, with minimal plastic.

Easy Recycling: Packaging designed to minimise waste.

Cardboard Shredder: Used packaging is reused as filler.

DGNB - Certification

DGNB is a voluntary certification system used to measure, promote, and collaborate on sustainability across the built environment.

Documented Responsibility

Damixa actively pursues certifications and approvals to document product and process quality and responsibility.

We follow approvals from RISE, SINTEF, and other relevant institutes to ensure that our products comply with current standards and legal requirements. We also prepare for upcoming stricter regulations, including the Drinking Water Directive, to be able to deliver products that always meet new requirements.
