Dear readers

Having reached the most important milestones in 2017 regarding

the integration of the ceramics business, line managers will pro­

mote further activities as part of daily business from 2018. The

focus here will be on the continued optimisation and harmonisation

of shared processes and the IT systems, the development of

combined products, ongoing optimisations in ceramics manufac­

turing and the promotion of cultural integration.

Our objective is to perform strongly across the entire sanitary

product business and in all markets and, as in previous years, to

gain market shares. We plan to concertedly market the new prod­

ucts that have been introduced in the past three years. Further

expansion of the promising shower toilet business and the inten­

sified cultivation of those markets in which Geberit products or

technologies are still under­represented are also planned. In line

with the Geberit strategy, these measures shall be accompanied

by efforts to continuously optimise business processes.

In 2018, we will firmly seize the opportunities offered as a result

of combining technical know­how in sanitary technology “behind

the wall” and design expertise “in front of the wall”. I am convinced

that we are very well equipped for the upcoming opportunities

and challenges.
