Who Makes VIGO? Inside the New York Brand Behind the Glass
Type "VIGO" into a search bar and the questions write themselves: who owns it, where is it based, where is it made, is it any good? Fair questions to ask about the hardware you shower behind every morning. Here are the answers — sourced, specific and straight from the record.
VIGO glass in its element: 3/8 in. tempered panels, 304 stainless hardware, designed in Manhattan.
At a glance
VIGO is Vigo Industries, LLC — an independent, privately held American company founded in 2009, with its design headquarters in Manhattan and operations in Edison, New Jersey. It is not a house brand and has no corporate parent: not Kohler, not Masco, not Fortune Brands. Nearly 500 products are sold under its own name, direct and through The Home Depot, Lowe's, Wayfair, Amazon and Ferguson.
The Elan E-Class: one of the doors that made VIGO one of America's top-selling shower door collections.
01 — The Company
An independent name in an aisle of conglomerates
Most fixture brands on the shelf belong to somebody bigger — Moen to Fortune Brands, Delta and Kraus to the Masco and Delta Faucet families, Sterling to Kohler. VIGO is the other kind: Vigo Industries, LLC, a privately held company founded in 2009, headquartered in Manhattan with warehousing and operations in Edison, New Jersey. The name is a place — Vigo, Spain — carried home from a founder's trip and turned into a brand.
The company's center of gravity is its New York design studio. VIGO describes itself as "a leading designer and manufacturer of bathroom and kitchen products, blending innovation, design, and sustainability," drawing on iconic New York architecture — and the catalog reads that way, with collections named for the city's streets and neighborhoods: Bowery, Sutton, Greenwich. The outside world has taken notice at intervals: a spot on the 2014 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private American companies, and Interior Design magazine's Best of Year 2023 award for the Jewel Touchless kitchen faucet, chosen from 722 product submissions.

02 — The Products
What VIGO makes, and how it is made
The catalog runs nearly 500 products deep: frameless shower doors, tub doors and enclosures, shower panel systems, kitchen faucets from pull-downs to the touchless Jewel line, bathroom faucets, glass and Matte Stone™ vessel sinks, shower drains and accessories. The shower door program stretches from adjustable stock doors that fit most standard openings to true built-to-specification custom glass for architectural and trade projects — the program behind the hotel installs.
On the how: VIGO products are designed and engineered at the company's New York studio, and manufactured to VIGO's specifications by vetted partner factories — the same global model used across most of the fixture industry. What reaches your bathroom is certified to the standards that matter: shower door glass to ANSI Z97.1 and 16 CFR 1201, kitchen faucets carrying cUPC-family, CEC and NSF listings with ADA-compliant designs. Every category is backed by VIGO's published Limited Lifetime Warranty, with registration at vigoindustries.com/pages/register-warranty.
And the verdict of people who own it: VIGO's best-selling Elan sliding door holds a 4.8-star average across more than 1,300 customer reviews — the same review pool displayed on The Home Depot's Elan listings.

Where are VIGO products manufactured?
VIGO designs and engineers its products at its New York studio, and they are manufactured to VIGO's specifications by vetted partner factories — the same global model used by most major fixture brands.

Does VIGO make custom shower glass?
Yes, two ways: adjustable frameless doors engineered to fit ranges of standard openings without made-to-order lead times, and — for architectural and trade projects — true custom shower door solutions built to specification in frameless, sliding, hinged, pivot and corner designs. The hotel portfolio runs on this program.
