“In 2013, Geberit Romania’s turnover exceeded the EUR6 million mark. Geberit sales continued to grow each year since 2009 with up to 10% a year. This trend will continue in 2014, driven by the industrial and commercial segment but we also see a comeback on the residential and office space segments,” said company general manager Catalin Mitroi.
In Romania, the Swiss group has been operating for ten years and has delivered sanitary installations for the Government headquarters, the Henri Coanda international airport in Bucharest, the National Arena stadium in Bucharest, as well as large private projects from residential compounds, to shopping centers to office buildings, hotels and industrial halls.
Geberit was founded in 1874 as a family business by Caspar Melchior Albert Gebert and in 1905, his son Albert Emil Gebert invented and produced the world’s first toilet tank, which was made of wood and lead-coated.
Geberit products are imported to Romania through a network of seven partners and are delivered to companies and end customers in hardware stores and specialized showrooms.
The group has 17 production locations in seven countries and ended 2013 with sales of CHF2.3 billion.
