{{AFC submission|d|reason|3=All the previous reviewers' comments still apply. You have not demonstrated notability, you have not adequately sourced, and this looks like a brochure, not an encyclopedia article. Please correct all the problems before you submit again. If you don't know ho wto fix it, ask at the Teahouse (invitation is on your user page). The notability/sources issues are partially because the sources you use are not considered reliable, or are not in-depth enough to indicate notability. Company websites are not notable, and a brief mention in passing, or a one-paragraph article, do not make a subject notable. Not sure about the KBB articles -- to be reliable, there should preferably be editorial oversight.|declinets=20131029045857|decliner=Dovid|ts=20131004092348|u=Joyou888|ns=5|small=yes}}{{AFC submission|d|v|declinets=20130807152422|decliner=APerson|ts=20130801145116|u=Pfandtasse|ns=5|small=yes|small=yes|small=yes}}{{AFC submission|d|adv|declinets=20130707001555|decliner=Techatology|ts=20130703152139|u=Pfandtasse|ns=5|small=yes}}{{AFC submission|d|corp|declinets=20130701065454|decliner=Bonkers The Clown|ts=20130618114155|u=Pfandtasse|ns=5}} |

The first predecessor to the firm was the Fujian Nan’an Fuxin Water-Warmth Appliances & Material Factory, founded in 1988. The brand name Joyou was introduced in 1995 and in the early 2000s, the company shifted focus from producing for Chinese wholesalers, to manufacturing selling own-brand products and establishing a domestic distribution network.<ref>http://www.joyouinternational.com/en/9/about-joyou/company-history/</ref> |

In the second half of the 2000s, the firm grew rapidly, booking sales growth of more than 200% in 2008 and being one of the sponsors of the year’s ]. In 2010, Joyou became the first Chinese producer of sanitary ware to make an IPO on the ]<ref>http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90778/90859/7155101.html</ref>, taking in €105 million.<ref>http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aiMIrYzYfqFo</ref> |

In early 2011, Grohe AG – which already held 32.58% of the Joyou shares, launched a successful public takeover bid for Joyou AG.<ref>http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/4675726c-3869-11e0-959c-00144feabdc0.html</ref> In 2013, another change in the ownership structure brought Grohe and Joyou closer together as Joyou’s major shareholders exchanged their holdings in Joyou for a stake in the Grohe Group: this brought Grohe’s total shareholdings in Joyou AG to 72.3%.<ref>http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/transactions/transactions.asp?ticker=JY8:GR</ref> |

The firm's primary emphasis is on faucets. For bathroom use, it produces a range of manually operated wash-basin taps and shower mixers, as well as automatic basin faucets and flush valves for urinals and toilets. It also produces own-brand basins, urinals, toilets, and other ceramic bathroom fittings such as bathtubs, as well as a limited selection of bathroom cabinets and accessories such as hooks. Its kitchen products include both sink faucets and sink units with faucets attached.
