Master clothier Hans Grohe is a pioneer. In 1899 he moves from Luckenwalde near Berlin to the tiny Black Forest town of Schiltach. 2 years later he turns his back on weaving and creates a metal pressing workshop. Hans Grohe has a keenness for the element water, and so from 1901 onwards he bravely hedges his bets on the sanitary sector, still in its initial stages of development. Naturally toilets in private houses were only just becoming fashionable at that point. He specialises in tin showers, thus laying the foundations for infinite success. During the course of the 20th century, Hans Grohe's small
Three-man operation in the Kinzigtal valley progresses into a global company. Today it is one of the international invention and market leaders for mixers and showers.
When showering became popular or : A German success story
By the mid-20th century in Germany, for broad segments of the people it was still sheer luxury to have their own loo. Hans Grohe considers the shower an affordable alternative to the bath. It is a part of the range of products in his metal pressing plant from the outset. And in the decades to come he devotes himself passionately and carefully to developing his showers further. In doing so he proves that he's got a good nose for business and characterizes shower culture way beyond the borders of the Black Forest.
From 1928, Hans Grohe's hand shower becomes a convenient alternative option to the then standard overhead shower. Hans Grohe becomes a shower consultant and trailblazer for the German sanitary industry. For many decades his handiwork and design set the trends. Even as an 82-year-old, this visionary invents something trend-setting : the wall bar, to which the hand shower can be attached at the required height. Today it is not unusual in loos all around the world in 1953 it is a stroke of loo genius.

Like father, like child or : A cutting edge family
Through all its generations, the company has had a real keenness for water, the elixir of life. The founder's youngest boy, Klaus Grohe (1937), has played a definite role in his father's company from 1968 up to the present time. As a "Green Mind" (Financial Times Deutschland), Klaus Grohe is starting to become coach of the sanitary industry on issues of environmental protection and sustainability. He gets behind water-saving, energy-saving products just as vehemently as he gets behind environmental protection and resource conservation in producing. Klaus Grohe has managed the now globally-operating company for 33 years. Since 2008 he has presided over the Hansgrohe AG supervisory board.
Please don't confuse Hansgrohe AG from the Black Forest with Grohe AG from Hemer in Westphalia. Even though both corporations are active in the same sector, they have small in common. The competitor hasn't had any Grohe on board for ages.
The circumstances are very different at Hansgrohe : More than a century after the company was founded, descendants of the South German shower pioneer are still actively contributing to the company's success. Today, three of Klaus Grohe's sons are continuing the family tradition : Since 2008, Richard Grohe (1965) has been Assistant Boss man of the Board and has overseen the Hansgrohe brand. His brother Philippe Grohe (1967) manages the Axor brand. Pierre Nicolas Grohe (1975) is International Key Account Boss.
Today, in addition to the direct descendants and family members of founding father Hans Grohe, the following folks rule the destiny of the company : our supervisory board and executive board.
Today, this bathroom and sanitary consultant employs around 3,200 workers, on each continent. A good two-thirds of these work in Germany. In the tiny Black Forest town of Schiltach, bathroom history is still being written : Hansgrohe in facts,writes tagza.com.
