The four XXL trucks from GROHE, the world’s leading manufacturer of sanitary fittings, have picked up speed again in 2018. The trucks give private and professional visitors an insight into the latest GROHE innovations and they can test products and take part in open trainings. The vehicles are currently on the road in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria and Saudi Arabia. In total, GROHE plans to arrange approximately 800 information events this year.
Covered distance equivalent to more than three circumnavigations of the world
Just a year ago, the trucks started at the ISH in Frankfurt am Main, the world’s leading trade fair for bathroom, heating and air-conditioning technology. Meanwhile, the GROHE trucks have stopped in 33 countries including Portugal, Switzerland, Norway, Russia and Morocco. So far, the route equates to more than three circumnavigations of the world; the trucks covered 135,000 kilometres. So far, GROHE has reached 90,000 visitors during the tour. According to a recent study by the market research institute BauInfoConsult among private DIYers, GROHE is one of the best-known brands in the bathroom market in Europe. They found that GROHE is a household name for half of all European DIY store customers.
