Grohe Faucets: German Engineering for the North American Market
Grohe (Hemer, Germany, owned by LIXIL Corporation, sold in the US through Grohe America, Atlanta) positions itself as the premium European-origin alternative to Moen and Delta in the US market, with faucets priced $150--$1,500. Grohe's SILKMOVE ceramic cartridge system provides notably smooth single-handle operation -- a quality difference that is perceptible in side-by-side comparisons with US-spec faucets. Grohe's StarLight Chrome finish is the most durable standard chrome finish in the residential faucet market, with a scratch and tarnish resistance significantly superior to standard chrome applied by most US brands.
