Geberit South East Asia recently brought a taste of the vibrancy and diversity of the Swiss culture to Singapore by hosting a Swiss themed event, “Simply Swiss” at the Hotel Fort Canning, Grand Marquee in May 2015. With more than 300 trade guests from the region in attendance, the event was a resounding success. Representatives of the Swiss Ambassador office and the Swiss Business Association also graced the event.

Guests were treated to a full Swiss immersion— from traditional Swiss cuisine, imported Swiss wines, to specially created Swiss-themed interactive games while a Swiss-German-Austria band, the Swiss Alpine Lions, played in the background. Game prizes include a Tissot watch sponsored by Swiss Trourism, while the top prize was a return air ticket to Switzerland via a lucky draw.

One of the display highlights of the evening was the “Simply Swiss” customised Sigma50 actuator plate that was encrusted with 5000 Swarovski crystals. In addition, the winning designs of the Monolith Puro Glass Design Contest 2015— Geberit’s first design contest celebrating Singapore’s golden jubilee, were showcased at the event. Guests were also impressed by the designs and wowed by the endless design possibilities of the customisable Geberit Monolith Puro.

About Geberit
Geberit was founded more than 140 years ago, and started off as a family business. At the turn of the century in 1905, Albert Emil Gebert succeeded in producing the first wooden flushing cistern that was lined with lead and equipped with leaden fittings. He called it “Phoenix”, the same name of the house where he had his plumber’s shop. Since then, the Geberit brothers developed the company and their products step-by-step with their down-to-earth attitude. Geberit products are nowadays known for their quality, sustainability, and versatility. Geberit stands for innovation. Although it is not a family driven company anymore, it still owns that spirit.
