In the world of sanitary ware and water filtration solutions, few names carry the weight of trust and excellence that FBT has earned over its remarkable three-decade journey. Since its founding in 1996, Free Building Trade International Co. – “FBT” has transformed from a promising venture into a global leader that spans continents and serves diverse markets with unwavering commitment to quality.

Today, FBT’s presence extends across seven countries, with significant operations in the MENA region—Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, and Turkey—while maintaining a strong global footprint in the United States, China, and Hong Kong.
