We leave nothing to chance, especially not our future.
Innovation is the key to Geberit’s future success. As a market leader, we lead the way and set trends. Hence Geberit is innovative in all areas – in research and development, in production and marketing of sanitary systems and in piping systems.
The difference
Creativity is not something you can force. But you can facilitate it, help coax it along. Here at Geberit, we have created and nurtured a process to encourage the kind of employee creativity that leads to innovation.
At Geberit Innovation Process Development (IPD) is at the core of all our business processes. And at the heart of our corporate culture. It is aimed at just one thing: providing our customers with the best of what’s available. Top quality, environmentally compatible, highly aesthetic products for end customers. Easy-to-install, maintenance-friendly systems for installers. Elegant solutions for architects and planners. And for our employees, the opportunity to use their skills to maximum effect.
Patent protection
Creativity without freedom confines the spirit, achievement without discipline is failure.
The innovation process development (IPD) in our research and development departments generate a multitude of innovative solutions which are then carefully examined by our patent specialists to determine whether they are patentable. In-house solutions are safeguarded by patents and design rights. Geberit’s innovative work is thus protected by legal means – putting us one more step ahead of the competition.
In addition to securing and asserting our proprietary rights, Geberit monitors patent activities worldwide in the field of sanitary engineering. This ensures that development tendencies and trends are recognized early on and subsequently observed and addressed, if appropriate.
