It's painful to witness a loved one lose their enthusiasm for life due to a significant decline, leaving them unable to manage themselves alone in the bathroom. The story of Bano began with a personal conviction that bathrooms for the elderly, and those with special needs, should be improved to provide increased quality of life. The idea of creating a bathroom that offers the user more dignity and independence, while also reducing the workload for caregivers, is at the core of Bano’s purpose.
Designed for care, our concept was launched in 2002 after years of dedicated development. A strong team, including experienced physiotherapists, leading industrial designers, architects, elderly care experts, and crucial insights from users themselves, crafted and rigorously tested our solutions. The overwhelmingly positive response confirmed what we knew: "This is what we have been waiting for. A functional bathroom that is both appealing and affordable." Today, Bano is the market leader in Norway, tested by thousands in hospitals, nursing homes, and private homes, and is now a sought-after international solution.
Bano is an international company with sales offices across Europe. Our administrative headquarters, central warehouse, and manufacturing facilities in idyllic Sandane, Western Norway, design, develop, and produce more than 4000 bathrooms per year, all undergoing rigorous testing and quality assurance.
