Renowned as one of the world’s leading sanitary fittings brands, Grohe took the opportunity presented by the recent 2017 edition of ISH in Frankfurt, Germany, to showcase its latest developments and designs by hosting an impressive display with the theme ‘Water. Intelligence. Enjoyment.’
“Water is a life force. A condition of life. Grohe infuses it with intelligence and enjoyment,” says Michael Rauterkus, CEO of Grohe.
It was an example of perfect synchronicity: with its focus on water and energy, ISH also provides a key platform for internationally renowned brands to showcase their latest products and technology.
“We focused on our strengths and boosted our productivity, thanks to the outstanding craftsmanship and teamwork of our colleagues,” Rauterkus continues. “We innovate at Grohe to improve how you experience water in home, and at this year’s ISH, we are presenting hundreds of innovative products in all categories.”
Grohe’s two key innovations were unveiled at ISH: Grohe Sense and Grohe Sense Guard, created to address the issue of water damage in households. Grohe Sense is a smart water sensor which is able to detect flooding, as well as tracking room temperature and humidity. Multiple devices across different rooms in the house can be used to notify the homeowner of any issues instantly so that he or she has the time to react.
