“As a global brand for sanitary products and systems, we realize
the economic potentials of Nigeria. We have been operating in
Africa for years now with the establishment of GROHE within the
region as early as the 1970’s with offices starting in Egypt. While
in the past North and South Africa were in the spotlight, in recent
years, Grohe has launched fully functional offices in East and West
Africa; Nairobi and Lagos.”

support to delivery is not only based on best quality products but
also in training and after sales services. This is apparent when
