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 Regout's death in 1878, approximately 2500 workers were employed. The company was initially known as a producer of glassware, tableware 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" was still used by the Swiss Geberit until 2019. Sphinx Tiles, which was split off in 1997, has also had no production facilities in Maastricht since 2008. The Sphinx and the closely related Regout family have left many traces in Maastricht and the surrounding area.
