2005
Geberit Langenfeld (DE) inaugurates the first drinking water tower worldwide where drinking water hygiene may be interactively experienced in context.

At the ISH 2005, Geberit presents the new Powerflush technology. It rinses without electricity, using the same amount of water but higher pressure than traditional WC flushing systems.

Deriplast (IT) is subdivided into two companies. Private investors take over the underground piping systems segment. The production of PE and SilentDB20 pipes as well as the manufacture of special piping components remain with Geberit.

Various prestigious new buildings such as the Agbar Tower in Barcelona (Spain) by Jean Nouvel, Turning Torso in Malmö (Sweden) by Santiago Calatrava and the new football stadium by Herzog & de Meuron in Munich are equipped with Geberit products.
