Quality and the Environment
Water is life.
Water is quality of life.
And water is one of the most precious resources in the world.
Even though two thirds of the Earth is covered with water, only 2% of this
water can be used as drinking water. Sparing use of this element is
critical.
GROHE offers water- and energy-saving faucets and systems of the highest
quality to ensure that our precious resources are not wasted in the future.
Everyday, we can save water in our bathrooms while enjoying the comfort
offered by GROHE faucets, thermostats and showers. This feeling of comfort
is no coincidence. All GROHE production facilities fulfill the strict
requirements of the international ISO 9001 quality assurance standard.
There Comes A Time to Insist on the Best
Grohe entered the U.S. market in 1975 with a faucet line that looked and
functioned differently than most domestic faucets available at the time.
Grohe's unique products initiated an industry movement that has since
reshaped the design and quality of American kitchen and baths.
Grohe today is recognized as one of the leading faucet brands used in custom
homes and upscale remodeling projects. Innovations such as pull-out spray
kitchen faucets, solid stainless steel kitchen faucets, single hole
centerset lavs that replaced traditional American 4" configurations, and
thermostatic shower safety valves are just a handful of the European
concepts brought to the U.S. by Grohe. Engineered in Germany, Grohe products
sold in the U.S. comply with domestic codes and standards.
Grohe has a long history and reputation for "craftsman-caliber"
manufacturing... a reputation maintained today through ultra-modern robotic
production techniques that are combined with time-honored hand crafting
skills to insure consistent quality at each stage of the manufacturing
process. Solid cast brass fabrication... long lasting PVD finishes...
engineering to incredibly close tolerances... life testing and 35 quality
assurance checks... Grohe has set the standard to which all others are
compared.
But where any manufacturer can make quality claims, Grohe was the first
international faucet manufacturer to be ISO (International Standards
Organization) 9001 Quality Assurance Certified. ISO 9001 required an
independent audit and inspection of all Grohe quality systems from
manufacturing to customer service. ISO 9001 Certification insures that Grohe
maintains a continuous loop of planning, execution, assessment, and
improvement of all products and systems within the company.
Grohe is the largest faucet manufacturer in Europe, and ranks among the top
three faucet manufacturers in the world. Truly international in scope, Grohe
distributes in over 185 countries. The U.S. subsidiary was established as
Grohe America, Inc. and is based in the Chicago metropolitan area. Grohe
America is the center for all Grohe U.S. customer service, technical
support, sales/marketing, warranty service, warehousing, and distribution to
all 50 states, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
