As part of its long-standing track record in supporting its professional partners in the sanitary sector, GROHE continues to do so with the "Grohe Certified Professional" program (GCP) in the MENA region establishing a wider network of trained sanitary professionals.
In 2015 plumbers and sanitary professionals from Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan and Ghana received the GROHE professional's certification after completing 16 hours of training, and passing examinations. Following this success, the program will witness an expansion multiplying locations across the region to reach the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Oman, Jordan and Lebanon. The GCP affirms the manufacturere's commitment in keeping the GROHE Professional aim firmly focused on its partners in the sanitary sector by aligning all products and services carefully with their needs and requirements.
Each session demonstrates just how efficiently GROHE products can be installed and clearly shows that products and services are aligned with the needs of professional installers and distributors.
GROHE Professional program reflects the brand's unerring focus on professional sanitary installers and distributors by portraying GROHE products and the people who work with them in mundane everyday situations as seen from the professionals' point of view.
