The major competitors of Geberit

Now that you have a good knowledge of Geberit and its activities, we propose to discover who are its main competitors and adversaries in the market with a presentation of the major players in this sector:

Roca

This Spanish company was founded in 1917 and is now based in Gavà in Catalonia. It was founded by the Roca brothers and specialises in the production of sanitary ware and bathing equipment. The company has several galleries in Europe, including Barcelona, Lisbon, Madrid and London.

Its world headquarters are located in Hemer and its administrative headquarters are in Düsseldorf, Germany. The group currently employs 6,000 people worldwide, including 2,300 in Germany and about 100 in France.

Duravit

This other German company is also a manufacturer of porcelain bathroom accessories and is known for having used top designers such as Philippe Stark, Sieger Design, Phoenix Design or Christian Werner to create its product ranges. In recent years, the group has also expanded its product base with several new products.

The major partners of Geberit

The Geberit Group has succeeded in gradually gaining market share and becoming the European market leader in its sector thanks to a well thought-out strategy that relies heavily on active partnerships. Although these partnerships are infrequent over time, they are always of high quality and offer real benefits for the group and its profitability. To better understand what this type of alliance consists of, here are two examples of partnerships set up by Geberit in recent years.

Twido

In 2017, the Swiss company Geberit joined forces with the French group Twido, which specializes in water heating systems, among others. The aim of this partnership was to develop a new Geberit water tank called Sigma 8 and its integration with theWCT4-102W model. As a result, the entire W Twido range could be adapted into Geberit Installed. This partnership is a win-win situation for both companies.

ASC

Also in 2017, Geberit, which makes it a point of honour to promote the basic and further training of employees in the sanitary sector and to safeguard their working environment, launched an educational partnership with the Swiss Tile Association ASC. Through this association, tilers receive in-depth training in the area of shower room sealing with the aim of simplifying and optimising the interaction between sanitary fitters and tilers and promoting contacts with other trades.

The factors in favour of a rise in the Geberit share price:

First of all, it should be noted that Geberit has a great deal of experience in its field, having been in business since 1874. The group therefore occupies a leading position in the market.
The Geberit Group's workforce of more than 7,000 employees worldwide also enables it to adapt quickly to the orders and requirements of the construction and renovation market and to meet its delivery deadlines.
Of course, the fact that Geberit is currently the market leader in its sector in Europe is also a plus, as it gives the company greater confidence from potential customers. Geberit has a very popular brand image and is one of the best known sanitary brands in the world, thanks to its numerous subsidiaries in various countries, especially in Europe.
Another strength is that Geberit offers a wide range of products, covering both sanitary systems and piping.
Finally, Geberit's products are designed for durability, which helps to build customer loyalty and reassure them.

The factors in favour of a drop in the Geberit share price:

Firstly, Geberit products are often criticized for their high cost compared to its competitors' products, especially since the rise of Indian suppliers in this market.
Geberit is also experiencing difficulties in positioning itself in certain major cities around the world, which is slowing down its international development and preventing it from taking certain market shares.
Finally, Geberit's brand image could be quickly damaged by the fact that it shows less global awareness than its main competitors.
