US-based health and personal care technologies company Brondell has acquired water-saving technology and premium showerheads developer Nebia, the company said.

Nebia is backed by investors such as Tim Cook (CEO, Apple), The Schmidt Family Foundation (Google), Joe Gebbia (Co-founder, Airbnb), James Park (Co-founder, Fitbit), Stanford University, and Y-Combinator.

With Nebia, Brondell will expand its Bathe category, strengthening the brand's commitment to sustainable solutions for the bathroom.

With drought and water conservation top of mind throughout the global community, Nebia has already saved over 520 m gallons of water through its showerhead designs, while Brondell provides consumers with high-quality, low-impact solutions for the kitchen, bathroom, and beyond.

Nebia's innovative nozzle technology and spray designs have helped transform an industry long reluctant to adopt water-saving solutions for the home.

In 2018, Nebia partnered with an industry-company in the development of two breakthrough new shower systems, earning the Industrial Design Society of America Gold Award.

Brondell will incorporate Nebia's patented nozzle technology into its bidet products, while expanding its Bathe category with existing and upcoming water-efficient showerheads.

Together, Brondell and Nebia have already designed some of the most environmentally friendly bathroom offerings on the market, recently launching the SimpleSpa Eco Bidet Attachment, which features water-saving Nebia technology built into the retractable spray nozzle, and a 65% post-consumer recycled plastic frame--an industry first, and an indication of sustainably focused offerings to come.

Brondell will soon launch the Swash Eco Thinline T66 Luxury Bidet Toilet Seat with Remote Control, which uses 10% post-consumer recycled plastics in the bidet lid, remote, and magnetic dock.

Designed with an ultra-thin profile and loaded with luxurious features, the Swash Eco Thinline will be available to purchase spring of 2023 at Brondell.com for USD 749.99.

Nebia's shower technology will join Brondell, with the introduction of the Nebia Corre Four-Function Fixed Showerhead and Nebia Corre Four-Function Handshower.

Both feature atomizing nozzles engineered to produce millions of precise water droplets, optimized for warmth, rinsing, and body coverage, while saving users up to 50% more water compared to standard 2.5 gallon-per-minute showerhead sprayers.

Additional designs will round out Brondell's new Nebia Bathe product suite.

Offerings include top-tier, sustainably focused accessories, such as upcycled shower curtains, quick-dry bathmats made from biodegradable diatomaceous earth, infinitely recyclable bathroom shelving, and the world's first towel created from a breakthrough upcycled textile technology called REFIBRA.

The full product suite is available now at Brondell.com.

Brondell is a Mark Cuban-backed company with a retail presence in 4,500+ stores throughout North America, including The Home Depot, Lowe's, Costco and Walmart.

Nebia creates innovative products that people love to use and that are better for the planet.

Co-founded in San Francisco in 2014 by Carlos Gomez Andonaegui, Gabriel Parisi-Amon, and Philip Winter, Nebia is a recognized leader in the home water efficiency category.

Award-winning showerhead technology utilizes proprietary nozzles that conserve up to 50% more water as compared to standard showers.

Nebia's products are in over 100,000 homes and have saved users 520m gallons of water and more than 27m kWh of energy to date--enough energy to heat 2,700 American homes for an entire year.
