Al Baha and Jouf Universities team up with GROHE
GROHE, the world's leading premium brand for bathroom fittings, has won two prestigious projects at the Al Baha University and Jouf University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The top-level educational institutes selected GROHE products for the main faculty areas, administrative buildings and dormitories, adding to the GROHE success story in Saudi Arabia.
Selected for their uncompromising quality and highly sophisticated design, the GROHE products will provide the universities with a selection of bathroom fittings that meet the residents' every need. Each university contains around 2,000 bathrooms where the GROHE Europlus range will form the backbone of the new fittings. GROHE Atrio range will be used in the main bathrooms of the dormitories, as well as some of the public bathrooms. Kitchen mixers from the GROHE Minta range will also feature. Each university holds about 500 units to accommodate both staff and students (married and single).
These new projects have continued the tradition of GROHE supplying all of the faucets, showers and flushing systems for every Ministry of Higher Education Project in KSA since early 2010 where GROHE is a preferred supplier.
Tarek Khayat, GROHE Project Manager for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: "This is another proud moment for GROHE as we have been chosen to equip our products to not one but two prestigious universities in Saudi Arabia. These project wins continue our long-standing relationship with the Ministry for Higher Education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - something we at GROHE are extremely proud of.
"All of the GROHE products being provided are characterised by distinctive designs while at the same time showcasing the unmistakeable GROHE style. We hope that we offer the students and faculty an unmatched holistic water experience."
The projects in both universities are due to be completed in 2013.
