About the company the Sphinx:
Koninklijke Sphinx, formerly Petrus Regout & Co., locally known as De Sphinx,
was a Dutch company founded by Petrus Regout in 1834 in Maastricht.
As the first large-scale mechanized factory, De Sphinx is seen as the cradle
of the industrial revolution in the Netherlands.
At the death of Regout in 1878 there were about 2,500 workers.
The company was initially known as a producer of glassware, crockery
and other household pottery; later mainly of tiles and sanitary ware,
such as washbasins and toilet bowls.
The factory ceased to exist in 2009, although the brand name "Sphinx" is still
used by the Swiss Geberit until 2019.
Sphinx Tiles, which was split off in 1997, has also no longer had production
facilities in Maastricht since 2008.
The Sphinx and the closely related Regout family has left many traces
in Maastricht and the surrounding area.
