hansgrohe brand Company
hansgrohe – our past informs our future Hansgrohe is a company steeped in tradition. It was founded by Hans Gro- he in 1901, with a small metalwork shop in Schiltach in the Black Forest. You will still find our Innovation Centre and corporate headquarters there today. These days, the hansgrohe brand has an international reputation for excel- lence, thanks largely to the commitment of its people. Each employee is passionate about water, but it’s our expertise which really set us apart as a company. These qualities have resulted in revolutionary bathroom innova- tions and pioneering water-saving technologies, yesterday, today and to- morrow. It al started with the continuous redevelopment of the hand shower, originally designed with an elegant and functional porcelain handle, as well as the first shower rail, Unica, which made daily showering accessible to all. The Mistral Eco shower, which reduced water consumption by 50% at the time, then set a milestone for a sustainable future. The PowderRain spray type creates a sensational showering experience thanks to the micro-drop- lets that gently cocoon the body, even with low water consumption using EcoSmart technology. These and other innovations will all have mentions in the next chapter of the hansgrohe brand’s success story.
In 1901, Hans Grohe founded his metalwork business. He was a visionary, recognising the changing role of the bathroom in the home (despite it being a fairly new concept to most at the time).
Klaus Grohe’s passion: water, the elixir of life. “Climate change is not an issue of the distant future, it is a present reality. Society as a whole needs to contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions. We are setting the course for the immediate future today.” Klaus Grohe, 1990
