Our Passion for
Quality and Technology
GROHE Quality is more than just a promise. It is a guarantee
that all of our products meet and exceed the expectations
of our customers by delivering a range of unique water
experiences.
Every day, millions of people start their day with GROHE.
They use our faucets, take showers and use GROHE
technology to flush their WCs – all without a second thought.
Our customers rely on our products to perform throughout
the day, every day. They are our toughest critics and our
best informants.
From the very first sketch to the launch of a new product,
the end-user’s requirements are the most important
consideration throughout the design process. To ensure our
products are relevant, we monitor changes in societal trends
and consumer behaviour. This, combined with our extensive
knowledge of global markets, allows us to identify the future
needs of our customers. Our faucets and showers have won
numerous prestigious awards for their design including
Design Plus, the iF product design award and the red dot
design award.
GROHE products and components are tested for life.
From the ceramic cartridges that bring GROHE SilkMove®
technology to our single-lever faucets to GROHE TurboStat®
technology, which delivers fast and accurate temperature
control to our thermostats, our products are designed to
last and to bring comfort and enjoyment to the user.
As with any industry, there is a prescribed set of standards
that our products must meet. The GROHE Life-testing Centre
performs a number of tests to ensure that our fittings
exceed these requirements. Instead of the 90,000 temperature
changes required by ISO 9001, GROHE faucets must
complete twice as many cycles – equivalent to 20 years of
use – before being approved for mass production. Prior to
delivery, real-life simulation checks are performed on every
single product using water or – should this not be recommendable
for reasons of drinking water hygiene – compressed
air.
Our products are designed to give years of trouble-free
performance, therefore even the smallest details are
important to us – after 20 years of daily use, the coloured
indicators for the hot and cold water supplies on our faucets
are still as clear as the day the fitting was purchased. After
all, quality as GROHE understands it, is more than the
collections of norms and standards – it is a central element
of our corporate philosophy to constantly improve and
innovate.
