“Hangrohe employs 5,400 people across the globe, about 70 percent of whom work in the EU. The company is owned by Masco (Livonia/USA) and Syngroh (Schiltach/Germany), holding of the Klaus Grohe family. For Hansgrohe, water is life and our passion. Therefore, the company is committed to reaching ambitious environmental targets including its contribution to the 1.5 degree goal of the Paris Agreement. Hansgrohe will achieve its biggest impact on water and climate protection as well as circular economy by focusing on innovative technologies for the bathroom and the kitchen. Continuous investments in innovation and transformation ensure its global competitiveness.”
