Why solid stainless steel?

The beauty and properties of stainless steel have made it an ideal choice for many sculptures and landmarks, such as the Chrysler Building’s peak in New York, the Gateway Arch defining the St. Louis skyline, and the Atomium in Brussels. These same features make it the best choice for many industrial and commercial applications, including high-quality bathroom and kitchen fixtures for outdoor use.

In 1998, MGS produced its first stainless steel mixer for domestic use. No other manufacturer had used it for this purpose before MGS due to costs and technical challenges: stainless steel is more expensive than brass and more complex to operate because of its hardness and higher melting point. These factors did not deter MGS, as the goal was to offer the most premium products to conscious consumers.

Below is a partial list of the exceptional benefits offered by stainless steel.

- It is 100% lead-free, allowing MGS to be the first European manufacturer to obtain NSF61 Annex G compliance certification. It also meets the new low-lead requirements in the USA, effective from January 2014.

- The finish is achieved through manual polishing rather than chemical processes such as chrome plating or coating. Polished stainless steel is highly resistant to scratches and durable.

- 100% recyclable, with a significant portion made from recycled materials (about 60%).

- Stainless steel does not release nickel, making it ideal for individuals allergic to it.

- Non-porous surface is more resistant to bacteria and germs, making it a more hygienic choice for kitchens or bathrooms.

- Perfect for outdoor installation, as stainless steel is corrosion-resistant.

- Ensures a long service life, making it the most cost-effective choice in the long run.

Some competitors now use stainless steel sheets or pipes to cover the internal brass body. This shortcut can reduce manufacturing costs while providing some of the benefits listed above, but not all!

Warranty

MGS products are covered by a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase for all stainless steel parts and a 2-year warranty for all other components. During this period, parts with manufacturing, material, or workmanship defects will be replaced free of charge.
