Hansgrohe

Hansgrohe is represented by two key brands: Hansgrohe, which embodies ‘efficient water pleasure’ and Axor, which delivers ‘designer visions for any bathroom’.

Perfection in form and function has always been the Hansgrohe standard. Since 1901, bathroom pioneer Hans Grohe and his descendants have traditionally been one step ahead of their time; from inventing the first hand-shower (1928) or ringing in a new shower era with Raindance (2003), and most recently the Select functionality (2011).

Hansgrohe brings together exceptional quality with countless innovations, and the company’s ranges comprise cutting edge, award-winning design. Hansgrohe currently ranks 6th out of approximately 1,900 companies in the iF (International Design Forum) for its outstanding designs and is the highest ranked in the sanitation sector (February 2012).

The company’s products have applications in bathrooms and kitchens of all types where design flair, durability and performance are key.

All production processes are in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001. The company was awarded the German EG-Oko-Audit No. 1836/93 in recognition of its environmental management policy. Hansgrohe has a wide selection of WRAS, KIWA and TMV-approved products, also has more than 50 ECA-approved products available for commercial projects.

SUSTAINABILITY

A company so involved with water has a responsibility toward nature and its resources, and Hansgrohe is an industry leader in its actions to conserve the environment, with solar-powered offices since 1991. Regenerative energy sources and environmentally friendly production methods are used. Showers and mixers are designed to save water with Ecosmart technology, and Ecostat thermostat technology to save energy.

BRANDS

112 years’ experience and top performance in the industry make this one of Europe’s leading brands and a plumber’s favourite for showers, mixers and waste technology. Kitchen mixers complement this product line. Hansgrohe are again set to revolutionise the bathroom industry with the launch of the new Select range. The simplicity and convenience of one-touch operation has finally found a home in the bathroom. Alternate spray modes or outlets are selected with a single click, giving choice at the touch of a button. Reliability is also built in with Select technology, tested for more than 280,000 cycles at pressures up to 50 bar – one touch is guaranteed.

• Axor

Axor brings exclusivity to the bathroom. Each product line includes showers, shower pipes, mixers and accessories. Increasingly, basins and baths are also offered in the same coordinating design to deliver a complete Axor dream bathroom whether tastes are avant-garde, modern or classical. Behind these collections are some the world’s most recognised creative minds, from Phillippe Starck’s ‘Haute Couture’ style to Jean-Marie Massaud’s naturally inspired collection. These inspirational designer visions form the creative foundation for the concept of the bathroom as a living space. The result is award-winning collections and breathtaking design concepts.

Launched in Berlin in September 2012, the Axor Starck Organic collection comprises more than 40 products. The organic design is inspired by the powerful energy found in nature and in the beauty of the human form. Operation of the new mixer tap is intuitive and ergonomic, whilst setting new standards in water-saving.
