Who do you hope to meet at UKCW 2019?
We would like to use this great event as a springboard to continue to form collaborative relationships with those that share our views on enhancing modern living and creating intelligent products and solutions for customers.
What challenges does the industry face, and what can be done to counter them?
Bathroom manufacturers across the globe are aiding governments in their quest to reduce water consumption. Sustainability has been part of our identity for decades, which is why our technology stands out for qualities such as water saving capability. For example, at Geberit, our sanitary technology stands out for its sustainability attributes. The Geberit concealed cistern Sigma 12 cm can even be restricted to 4.5 litres, which makes it exemplary with respect to water consumption.
Alongside this, the industry is also striving to create durable solutions. It’s why at Geberit we aim to simplify the complex to ensure the safety and dependability of our products and systems throughout their life cycles, whilst combining the perfect balance of design and function.
Of course, there are also issues in regard to skills shortages and time and cost efficiencies. One way manufacturers are combatting this is by offering installers hands-on training, encouraging them to get to grips with the latest piping systems and sanitary solutions in a realistic, work-like setting. These training provisions inspire the use of more efficient methods of working such as press-fit which will save considerable time when connecting pipework.
