Immerse yourself in the world of Hansgrohe

From the first shower rail to multiple-stream showering pleasure at the touch of a button: since 1901, inventions from Hansgrohe’s Black Forest-based think tank have influenced bathrooms around the world. A lot of what was conceived, developed and designed here has provided the international sanitary branch with stimuli. Some ideas wrote bathroom history and some even cultural history. Over a century after founding the company, the descendants of the south-German shower pioneer are contributing actively to the success of the company. We spoke to Richard Grohe about the passion for his company and posed the question of how you can harmonise traditional inventive talent and digital transformation.
