100 % Sanitary, Heating, Air-conditioning
The building supplies industry in Germany is traditionally characterised by its strong links with the specialist trades. Particularly in the sanitary/heating/air-conditioning sector (but also with regard to ventilation and refrigeration technology), two-to-three-tiered sales models dominate, at least in the lower performance bracket. The DIY sector accounts for a small proportion of this with the online trade taking an increasing share, particularly in the sanitary/plumbing sector.
