Master Clothier Hans Grohe Is An Innovator,In 1899 He Moves From Luckenwalde Near Berlin To The Little Black Forest Town Of Schiltach,Two Years After He Turns His Back On Weaving And Establishes A Metal Pressing Workshop.
Master clothier Hans Grohe is a trend setter. In 1899 he moves from Luckenwalde near Berlin to the small Black Forest city of Schiltach. 2 years later he turns his back on weaving and establishes a metal pressing workshop. Hans Grohe has a hunger for the component water, and so from 1901 onwards he bravely hedges his gambles on the sanitary sector, still in its early stages of development. Naturally bathrooms in private homes were only just becoming fashionable at that time. He specialises in tin showers, thus laying the bedrock for untold success. During the course of the 20th century, Hans Grohe’s little
Three-man operation in the Kinzigtal valley develops into a worldwide company. Today it is one of the world creativity and market leaders for mixers and showers.
When showering became preferred or : A German success story
By the mid-20th century in Germany, for broad segments of the people it was still sheer luxury to have their own loo. Hans Grohe considers the shower a reasonable alternative option to the bath. It is a part of the range of products in his metal pressing plant from the outset. And in the decades to come he devotes himself zealously and carefully to developing his showers further. In doing so he proves that he has got a good nose for business and characterises shower culture far beyond the borders of the Black Forest.
From 1928, Hans Grohe’s hand shower becomes a convenient alternative choice to the then normal overhead shower. Hans Grohe becomes a shower consultant and pioneer for the German sanitary industry. For many decades his handiwork and design set the trends. Even as an 82-year-old, this idealist invents something trend-setting : the wall bar, to which the hand shower can be attached at the required height. Today it is not unusual in loos all around the world in 1953 it was a stroke of toilet genius.
Would you like to discover more about the Schiltach think-tank inventions? Here you will find Hansgrohe’s invention history milestones in craftsmanship.
Like father, like child or : A cutting edge family
Through all its generations, the company has had a real keenness for water, the elixir of life. The founder’s youngest son, Klaus Grohe (1937), has played a leading role in his father’s company from 1968 up to the modern day. As a “Green Mind” (Finance Times Deutschland), Klaus Grohe is starting to become coach of the sanitary industry on issues of environmental protection and sustainability. He gets behind water-saving, energy-saving products just as vehemently as he recommends environmental protection and resource conservation in manufacturing. Klaus Grohe has managed the now globally-operating company for thirty three years. Since 2008 he has presided over the Hansgrohe AG supervisory board.
Please don’t confuse Hansgrohe AG from the Black Forest with Grohe AG from Hemer in Westphalia. Although both firms are active in the same sector, they have tiny in common. The competitor has not had any Grohe on board for years .
The position is very different at Hansgrohe : More than a century after the company was set up, descendants of the South German shower pathfinder are still actively making a contribution to the firm’s success. Today, 3 of Klaus Grohe’s sons are continuing the family tradition : Since 2008, Richard Grohe (1965) has been Deputy Boss man of the Board and has overseen the Hansgrohe brand. His brother Philippe Grohe (1967) manages the Axor brand. Pierre Nicolas Grohe (1975) is Global Key Account Manager.
Today, as well as the direct descendants and family members of Founder Hans Grohe, the following folk rule the destiny of the company : our supervisory board and executive board.
Today, this rest room and sanitary consultant employs around 3,200 employees, on every continent. A good two thirds of these work in Germany. In the small Black Forest city of Schiltach, rest room history continues to be written : Hansgrohe in facts and figures,writes tagza.com.
