Kermi to Market Shower Screens Under Its Own Brand in France
France: From January 2025, Kermi, a German manufacturer of shower screens, will market its products in France under its own name. Previously sold under the Rothalux brand by Roth Industries' French subsidiary since 1979, this shift follows the expiration of the contract between the two manufacturers in December 2024. While Roth will refocus on its own product ranges from Germany and the Czech Republic, Kermi plans to maintain its presence in the French market through a network of agents.
Kermi, a producer of shower enclosures since 1976, is part of the Swiss Arbonia group, which recently sold its heating division to Chinese company Midea. Arbonia, now focused on interior doors and glass solutions, operates Kermi Duschdesign GmbH as an independent entity with four specialized production sites in Bavaria, including its historic Plattling site and the Deggendorf site acquired from Saint-Gobain in 2021.
