Growth from Humble Beginnings

German entrepreneur Heinz Hankammer founded Brita as a one-man operation back in 1966, naming the company after his daughter. Hankammer's first products were filters for water demineralization, according to the Brita website.

Based near Frankfurt, Germany, Brita has grown over the years into a global company that sells faucet filtration, filtering bottles, pitchers, dispensers and replacement filters. These products are now distributed worldwide to more than 60 countries through subsidiaries and a joint venture, according to Brita.

Faucet filtration

Faucet filtration systems from Brita are known for their convenience and compactness. You can attach one to your faucet in minutes and all models are BPA-free. The faucet filter uses a two-step process to remove impurities: water passes through a non-woven screen to trap sediment and then flows through a compressed block of carbon and zeolite that reduces chlorine and lead.

Pitchers

Brita also sells water pitchers that range in size from 5 to 18 cups. Inside these pitchers are filters that use activated carbon and ion exchange resin to filter out impurities. These pitchers come with features such as easy fill lids and comfort grip handles, as well indicators to remind you when it's time to change your filter.

Filtering bottles

For those on the go, Brita offers reusable filtering bottles. These BPA-free bottles that filter tap water as you drink are NSF certified to reduce the taste and odor of chlorine and particulates.

Dispensers

Water dispensers from Brita give you great-tasting water through a one-touch spigot. Ideal for families, these dispensers will fit neatly on your kitchen counter or refrigerator shelf.
