GROHE X Fact Snack
Quality in production – New colors and finishes
One of the overarching themes of this summit is how we will live in the future. By studying trends in consumer behaviour we hope to anticipate demand and be ready with the right products. One trend that’s evident now and driving our customers’ expectations is the increasing demand for products that allow us to customize our homes to our own particular taste. The people want variety and they want it now.
For a manufacturing business that makes precision-engineered pieces for the home, responding to this demand is not straightforward. Production processes require a lot of investment and are hard to adapt quickly. Fortunately we have people working for us with a talent for this kind of thing. Our Leader of Categories Benjamin Kraus will talk us through just what is involved in offering, for example, a selection of our products in a range of ultra-modern, stylish colors and finishes.
