Lixil Water Technology, a part of leader in housing and building material, products and service business Lixil Corporatio, has commenced operations.

Headquartered in Luxembourg and led by David J Haines, chairman and chief executive officer of Grohe Group, LWT operates across 150 countries, manages two research and development (R&D) centres of excellence – in Germany and Japan – and manufactures products across 50 production facilities worldwide.

It has received all relevant regulatory clearances to commence global operations as four core businesses: Lixil Water Technology, which is the most global of the four businesses, Lixil Housing Technology, Lixil Building Technology and Lixil Kitchen Technology.

With its global brands Grohe, American Standard, Joyou and Lixil/Inax, LWT commands leading market positions in the most important core markets.

It covers the four major sales regions of Japan, EMEA , the Americas and Asia; each region has prime responsibility for one of the four LWT brands.

It can now provide its customers with unique, professional complete bathroom solutions.

“One of Lixil Water Technology’s special strengths lies in pooling our broad-based, proven expertise,” said Haines.

“All of the brands in our global business will benefit from this cumulative know-how, giving them the ideal springboard for successful development and growth going forward. At the same time, each brand value will continue to prevail and the brands themselves will remain independent within LWT,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
