KLUDI at the GET Nord trade fair in Hamburg

KLUDI repositions itself and becomes a complete bathroom supplier

At the GET Nord trade fair in Hamburg (November 21-23, 2024)

Kludi GmbH & Co. KG will present itself for the first time as a complete bathroom supplier to a trade audience. The company will showcase two new faucet collections, Kludi-Renon and Kludi-Decus, which represent a new design philosophy for the Kludi brand. Both faucet series confidently reflect current architectural and interior design trends, translating these into a refined yet distinctive design language of time-less elegance. The high-quality finishes further enhance the unique aesthetics of the new collections. In addition to premium design fau-cets for bathrooms and kitchens, the expanded product portfolio includes accessories, freestanding bathtubs, shower trays, ceramic washbasins, bathroom furniture, toilets, and bidets.

“The strategic expansion of our brand and company enters an im-portant new phase with our presentation at GET Nord,” emphasizes Managing Director Harald Hotop, who oversees Sales and Marketing at Kludi. He adds, “For the first time, we are introducing the new Kludi to an expanded professional audience in the German market at a trade fair, which also serves as a preview for the ISH in Frankfurt next year.”

 

Reliable partner on course for growth

The manufacturer of high-end bathroom and kitchen faucets, which has been part of the international RAK Ceramics Group since 2022, has significantly expanded its sales team in both the retail and project sectors in 2024 as part of its company development. The following areas have also been restructured with new leadership: Ina Zieger (48) now heads the International Marketing department, René Derenbach (47) takes on a leadership role overseeing Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Logistics, and Christian Brinkmann (40) is further develop-ing Kludi’s European e-Commerce division as Head of European e-Commerce.

Investments at the Headquarters and international presence

With a focus on operations and research & development, the com-pany has recently invested in production at its Menden (Sauerland) site, particularly in the area of surface finishing using high-quality powder coating. The international market presence is also set to grow: Kludi will open its first showrooms in major cities such as Lon-don, Milan, and Vienna in the spring of 2025.
