Parent company of Axor and Hansgrohe, Hansgrohe Group has opened its new Warwick-based UK headquarters to key stakeholders and customers.

The purpose-built Hansgrohe head office in Warwick was officially opened by Hansgrohe Group CEO Hans Juergen Kalmbach and managing director for Hansgrohe UK & Ireland, Jay Phillips.

Part of an overall £5m investment, the 40,000sqft head quarters more than doubles the size of Hansgrohe’s previous UK HQ footprint in Surrey .

It offers product showrooms, customer services, installer training and stock distribution under one roof.

The premises includes a 4,000sqft showroom space, the Water Studio, which features Hansgrohe shower, brassware and accessories alongside its ceramics, furniture and mirrors, with working water displays across both Axor and Hansgrohe brand.

It has been created to sit alongside the Water Studio in Clerkenwell, for the architectural and design community, but to allow greater accessibility for customers from around the country.

In addition, the HQ houses a purpose-built Installer Academy training centre for trade professionals, which provides access to technical support from Hansgrohe’s product experts and the opportunity for practical experience.

A programme of training courses for installers will begin later in the year.

Working water walls show the performance of EcoSmart vs standard products and these are alongside brassware installation stations and visible pipework areas providing hands-on experience.

Managing director of Hansgrohe UK & Ireland Jay Phillips commented: “It is a real pleasure to open the doors of our HQ and officially call Warwick our new home.

“The central location, just off the M40, means we are more accessible than ever to our customers.

“And, by more than doubling the size of our previous HQ in Surrey, we can have everything available under one roof, from a spacious showroom and training, to warehousing and distribution.

“This will ensure we are able to best meet the needs of our busy customers and support them with their business.

“We recently expanded our product portfolio to ensure we can provide full bathroom solutions, and, in the coming years, we have ambitious plans to take the company further forward through continued product innovation and market leadership.

“This significant investment in our state-of-the-art new head office is a vital part of making these plans a reality.”
