hansgrohe Vernis Blend Hand Shower

The product shown is a hansgrohe Vernis Blend hand shower (Vario Green model). Hansgrohe is one of the world's leading manufacturers of sanitary fittings and bathroom solutions. Founded in 1901 by Hans Grohe in Schiltach, Germany, the company remains deeply rooted in the Black Forest region where it maintains several production facilities.

Today, while the brand is historically German and maintains its headquarters in Schiltach, it operates as part of a global corporation. Since 1999, the majority owner has been the American Masco Corporation based in Michigan, though the Grohe family still maintains a significant minority stake (32%) through Syngroh Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH. Production is distributed globally across plants in Germany, France, China, and the USA, though many premium lines are still proudly labeled 'Made in Germany'.
