Customer-Centricity: The Hansgrohe Group presents Innovative Design Highlights

ISH 2019: Water Experiences for all Senses
Schiltach, February 2019. Frankfurt will be the center of the international bathroom industry, when the world's leading trade fair for sanitary and heating technology, the ISH, opens its doors in just a few weeks. This year, the Hansgrohe Group, with its brands AXOR and hansgrohe, is set to impress visitors with ground-breaking innovations for the bathroom and the kitchen. From March 11-15, 2019, trade visitors and end consumers can experience the group’s new products on a newly designed and more than 2,000 square meter large booth in Frankfurt’s Festhalle.

“We have reliably and consistently earned a reputation as industry drivers in innovation, design, quality, and sustainability with our strong brands AXOR and hansgrohe,” so Hans Juergen Kalmbach, Chairman of the Executive Board of the Hansgrohe Group. “At ISH 2019, we will continue to do justice to this and present sensational innovations,” he adds. “In practicing customer-centricity, we think about water in the bathroom and in the kitchen in completely new dimensions. We then add functional value and thereby create an emotional water experience for our customers. Such an experience is not only created by our new products, but also by an impressive new booth concept.”
