Hansgrohe is to unveil its new Warwick-based UK headquarters to key stakeholders and customers in April.
The new, purpose-built head office in Warwick will be officially opened by Hansgrohe Group CEO, Hans Juergen Kalmbach, and managing director for Hansgrohe UK and Ireland, Jay Phillips.
The HQ move to Tournament Fields located to the south-west of Warwick, is part of an overall £5m investment and a ‘key landmark’ in the company’s strategic growth plans, a statement said. The new head office now provides 40,000sq ft of capacity, it cited, more than doubling the size of Hansgrohe’s previous UK HQ footprint in Surrey.
At the ISH trade fair last year, Hansgrohe unveiled a brand-new range of products which saw it launch into ceramics, furniture and mirrors for the first time. The statement added that the new HQ provides 5,000sq ft of dedicated showroom space for customers to see and experience the extended range.
Following the official opening at the end of April, the company said that retail customers and installers will be invited to visit the new facility, meet staff and tour the premises. This includes the new showroom space, as well as a new Installer Academy.
The new head office has been designed by Warwick-based architect, Costorphine & Wright, and constructed by local contractors, Benniman.
Jay Phillips, managing director of Hansgrohe UK and Ireland, said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for everyone at Hansgrohe UK.
“We have ambitious plans to take the company forward in the coming years through continued product innovation and leading the market. This significant investment in our state-of-the-art new head office is a vital part of driving this commitment.
“Having everything available under one roof, from a spacious showroom and training, to warehousing and distribution, will ensure we are able to best meet the needs of our busy customers and support them with their business. This also reinforces our goal to be the ‘easiest to do business with; and will further improve our already high levels of stock and service. In addition, our central location just off the M40 means we are more accessible than ever to our retail partners and installers.
“We have two strong brands, innovative, high-performing products and an amazing team. This compelling combination is further strengthened by our purpose-built headquarters in Warwick, which we are extremely proud to call our new home for the years ahead.”
