Genuine quality you can count on. In 1901 Hans Grohe founded his company, and more than a hundred years later they are still obsessed and fascinated by water.

We wrote a little bit about the history of bathrooms in a blog post, and Mr Grohe was a pioneer in the development of private bathrooms. His craftsmanship and design set the trends for decades to come and revolutionised the way we live our lives.

His youngest son, Klaus and his family remain as a major shareholder, and Klaus’ son Richard has represented the family on the Supervisory board since 2018. The business has continued to push the boundaries of bathrooms and they are one of the leading innovators in the industry, having won numerous awards and holding a collection of patents. Their famous iBox was released in 2001 and completely reformed installations, allowing for more than 200 shower controls (on/off and temperature) to be fitted using the same stuff behind the wall.
