Fast and easy-to-install Geberit Mapress and Geberit Duofix wall-hung urinals at the Graze factory
Started by seven friends looking for a healthier way to snack, most of us are now familiar with the ‘Graze box’. The last few years has seen business boom for Graze, including distribution deals with Sainsbury’s, Boots and WH Smiths, branching out into America and completing its new factory – described by installer, Ross McClelland, as "the best food manufacturing facility you’re likely to see."
Why Geberit?
Geberit’s pipework was specified after Graze team members, Neil Thompson and Jason Low took part in a ‘pressing’ initiative, through merchants, BSS, in Reading. Armed with a set of Mapress fittings and tools, the duo never looked backed thanks to the simple process of fitting Geberit’s press-fit solution together.
Following extensive training with Paul King from Geberit, who also helped Graze choose the right products for the building, Graze’s installers have found Mapress extremely easy to use. "Using Mapress is clean, quick and tidy, with no mess, perfect for a factory as sleek as Graze’s," said Ross.
Geberit HDPE is also used for all drainage on site, a sustainable and safe product that does not leak. Geberit HDPE is made from a compound which has no environmental impact and is fusion welded, meaning no need for hot works. Geberit’s Duofix frames for wall-hung WCs and Geberit Duofix for wall-hung urinals are also fitted in the factory’s toilet blocks.
Geberit’s involvement with this project shows its credentials in meeting the needs of modern manufacturing facilities and the installers that work in them.
