Ripples visit Graff’s factory in Krakow, Poland

Ripples franchisees love nothing better than a trip to one of our supply partners factories as it is always a great way to gain further insight into how the beautiful products that adorn our bathroom showrooms are made.  When the factory is based close to the beautiful Polish city of Krakow, then there was never going to be a shortage of volunteers and in September, ten of our franchise partners joined Ripples Managing Director Paul Crow on that journey.  As growth in the premium bathroom sector continues to be positive, Ripples franchisees thrive on understanding every aspect of the supply chain and the careful attention that goes into making some of the worlds best bathroom products such as the taps and showers by GRAFF. 

Of course, it was not all work.  Having an opportunity to spend time together is always important to Ripples and no time was lost visiting the fine restaurants, bars and even the castle and there were some very tired eyes on the aeroplane two days later.

“It's crucial that Ripples collaborates with all of its suppliers, and there is no better way to do this than to go directly to the source by taking our franchisees to the plant. Our American and Polish colleagues gave us a warm welcome, and we were astonished by the meticulous attention to detail put into creating each of their items from start to finish.”
