ABU DHABI The first consultants offered our dear Sheikh Zayed a network to handle 50,000 residents and when questioned they returned with a system for 100,000. And he told them to build for half a million. Abu Dhabi will have the highest concentration of wealth on the planet. Actually there is no need to project into the future. Abu Dhabi is already this rich with a rumored $850bn in its sovereign wealth "The volume of construction activity in Abu Dhabi will outpace neighboring Dubai within four years This building boom will allow the population of the city to double within a decade and the focus is very much on private sector involvement." Reference: Delegates at the MEED conference, Abu Dhabi, November 22nd, 2007.

For real estate investors the upcoming $2.4 trillion worth of active and announced projects in Abu Dhabi presents a conundrum of opportunities. Where, when and how to invest? This is likely to be a constant theme for many years ahead. Abu Dhabi is planning many future projects sharing with (GCC) neighborhood and taking 29% of all the GCC future planning. The United Arab Emirates is a fast-growing economy: in 2006 the per capita income grew by 9%, providing a GDP per capita of $49,700 and ranking third in the world at Purchasing power parity. Abu Dhabi plays a large role in the world economy and sovereign wealth fund, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), currently estimated at US$ 875 billion, is the world's wealthiest sovereign fund, in terms of total asset value.

History Established in 1974, during the early stages of Abu Dhabi's urban planning that has started four years back, Sanitary Materials Company (SMC) was one of the early firms that grew up and rose along with the development of a new city. As a fast rising metropolis, Abu Dhabi was dramatically on a never ending demand for all sorts of expertise in planning and building in addition to quality building materials. Both the public sector and the private sector created a strong clamping demand on building materials suppliers. The high demand was a turning point for SMC to meet and to step forward and escalate from a mid sized firm into one of the top suppliers. The second milestone of SMC's growth was the ability to satisfy the local consulting firms all in meeting the strict requirements and high end standards of international consultants.

The Present Backed up by internationally reputable and high quality building materials brands and products such as Roca, Hansgrohe, A.O. Smith, and many others, SMC today is a significant landmark in the industry. Consequently, it is very rare to find a structure in the UAE capital that misses one of SMC's brands. Sheikh's palaces, ministries, government agencies, hospitals, mosques, malls, commercial and residential buildings have all been equipped with our products for the past years.

Roca: A lifetime spent improving comfort When one looks at how Roca has evolved since its beginnings, one can appreciate how much it contributes to the comfort of an entire country. And one can also see the company's true multinational scope. Compaùía Roca Radiadores, S.A., was set up in 1917 by the Roca brothers to initially manufacture cast iron radiators. The company quickly came to dominate the market and this coupled with its desire to expand, was the incentive to increase the range and research new products. 1925 saw the introduction of the new cast iron bathtubs; 1936 was the year porcelain sanitary ware was launched; 1954 saw the introduction of tapware; and in 1980, the ceramic tiles were brought out. Roca's invasion of the bathroom world was unstoppable. Now, almost a century down the line, Roca is the market leader almost everywhere its products are sold. The company has factories and subsidiaries across the globe. It is one of the most ambitious business projects worldwide.

Brand value The Corporation's consolidation as leader in the bathroom business has contributed even more to a reflection and an awareness of the role the Roca brand plays and the transmitting of values to its different audiences. Roca is present, indeed sometimes the star player, in the daily lives of millions of people all over the world: from Group employees and collaborators to trendsetters, opinion leaders, partners, distributors and end consumers. The Roca brand is a common meeting and reference point for everyone. This means it is also an efficient medium for conveying ideas and values. During this period of extraordinary growth, the Group continues to attend to its responsibilities, administering values that represent it in different social, cultural and economic contexts. Thanks to many years spent attaining knowledge, we have perfected a practical, flexible system for managing the Group's corporate image. Our aim is to facilitate an awareness of our product's tangible benefits and, more and more, to enrich the intangible elements that make Roca the favourite brand in its sector. Millions of families use Roca products because they are products they can trust. In some cases, they offer a window onto a better quality of life and prosperity; in others, they are a symbol of distinction and status. At the same time, the Roca brand means progress, wellbeing, innovation, design and sensitivity.

Roca's commitment Roca's solutions for saving water and energy, commitment to the environment means that the group is constantly researching and improving our contribution to saving water and energy. The design department is particularly concerned with always providing cutting-edge solutions that result in the benefits achieved by saving water and energy. www.sanitary-uae.com

Innovation and design A place where avant-garde tendencies, technologies and design come together into one single objective: to unite and reveal the comfort and quality of our products. Strength and reliability, technology and elegance; innovation and durability are the major characteristics of success. A team of creative staff and designers have dedicated all their efforts and years of experience to develop original product lines aimed at satisfying the new needs of our ever-demanding clientele. Elements that are made to be different, setting themselves apart from the rest with unique and daring designs, the latest technically advanced materials and components, expressing both exclusivity and modern style. Our lines and volumes display the most innovative tendencies in the market.

Design and quality Firm in its commitment to design and quality, Roca remains market leader in this constantly evolving industry, in both appearance and functionality. All the new features that you will find in this catalogue have been thoroughly tested and have undergone very strict quality and durability filters. Not in vain, Roca was given the prestigious ISO 9001, the highest ISO (International Organization for Standardization) qualification. The design world is currently experiencing something of a revolution, marked by consumer demands for functionality, technology and respect for the environment. Moreover, as far as bathrooms are concerned, there is also a growing trend towards viewing this space as somewhere private, where calm and wellbeing are paramount. As well as our desire to discover and provide solutions to the preferences of our consumers, we at Grupo Roca also strive to offer versatile products that adapt to the habits of the different markets in which the Group operates. The company has risen to this challenge by restructuring the design department and creating the new Roca Design Center, with its headquarters in Gavรก, near Barcelona, which got off the ground in 2005. www.sanitary-uae.com

Technology at your service The most precise and innovative technology is at your fingertips everyday. Functionality and simplicity in single lever taps that harmonize security and precision inflow control; water temperature without surprises with our thermostatic mixers; advanced electronic control systems... Entering into a bathroom or kitchen that is equipped by Roca is an absolute pleasure to the senses.

Technology, a key factor for competitiveness In 2005, Grupo Roca took a decisive step forward in applying technology at different stages of the production processes. Nowadays, ambitious plans for opening new factories and extending and improving existing ones can only be undertaken when based on innovative excellence. The aim is to develop precise work systems that respond to the immediate nature of the market and uphold the demands for quality that have made the Group market leader in the bathroom business. In recent years, investing 2% of turnover in R+D+i has enabled the Group to maintain maximum autonomy, which is evidenced by the development and perfecting of its own technological solutions. In 2005, this autonomy had two different faces: progressive automation of production chains and identification of better processes, with the collaboration of all of the Group's factories. Investing in state-of-the-art technology has brought the automation of process to heights that were unimaginable just a few years ago. The best examples are the automation of toilet casting in the Group's factories in Spain and Portugal, and the facility in Wilhelmsburg, Austria for pressurised casting of large pieces. Advances of this type have enabled us to increase productivity, guarantee that all pieces are of uniform quality, and improve conditions for our workers. Using the most suitable and most technologically advanced resources has meant that production capacity has doubled in our factories in Gliwice, Poland and Anadia, Portugal. The Group's new factories in Tosno, Russia and Suzhou, China incorporate the very finest in technology, making them two of the world's most advanced production centres for manufacturing porcelain sanitary ware and acrylic and cast iron bathtubs, respectively. We have also initiated a research programme into best practice in the Group's porcelain sanitary ware factories, which has made it possible for us to share knowledge and to discuss the most efficient work systems. The result is the creation of a Technology Department, which aims to continue to perfect the process of integral development and manufacturing of new products, keeping Roca at the forefront of industrial and technological capacity. www.sanitary-uae.com

Roca & The Environment In the 1960s, Roca pioneered the reduction of toilet cistern water capacity and the presentation of tap ware with lower energy consumption. Those first steps, taken in the light of threatened climate change, have in recent years become vital actions if we are to protect the resources of our environment both for today's society and for future generations. As bathroom sector leader, Grupo Roca is assuming its responsibilities and has made water-saving a concept that is intrinsically linked to its business practice as a whole. The desire to protect the environment is evident in the everyday operation of the production plants, guided by the strictest sustainable development criteria. Furthermore, the demanding global management standards applied by the Group throughout the world go far beyond the requirements set out by the legislation in each country. For example, the Group's factories use energy-saving methods such as converting residual heat into electricity, and using recycled materials in the manufacture of foundry products. However, the Group's commitment goes further yet and seeks to promote responsible consumption by users, in many different ways. One of these is the development of products that save the maximum amount of water and energy in daily use. These are discreet, simple solutions, such as built-in consumption limiting devices, smaller-capacity toilet cisterns and unique applications in the innovative wellness ranges, while at the same time not compromising on the use of long-lasting, recyclable materials. The Group has also taken the water-saving initiative with campaigns directed at consumers, and involvement in events such as Expo Zaragoza 2008. Roca is an exclusive sponsor in its sector and promotes the principles of sustainability which the international exhibition advocates, reminding consumers that, in many countries, good water management and good hygiene practices can save thousands of lives every year. Distinctions such as the European ECOLABEL certification, awarded to Roca Cerรกmica in 2005, recognise the fine work the Group continues to do in the field of environmental protection. Despite the advances already made, the Group's quest for innovation leads it to regularly review its production processes and to carry on working towards making water- and energy-saving part of its customers' daily habits. www.sanitary-uae.com

Otto Johannes Grohe is born in Luckenwalde near Berlin and moves to Schiltach in 1889.

1901

Hans Grohe sets up his own company to manufacture pressed metal goods.

1934

His son Friedrich leaves Hansgrohe and takes over the company of Berkenhoff & Paschedag in Hemer/Westphalia. This will change its name to „Friedrich Grohe“ in 1948.

1938

The founder of the company Hans Grohe with his son Klaus.

Turnover In 2007, Hansgrohe once again succeeded in maintaining the level of growth of the previous years. Innovations in products and processes as well as greater internationalization in our market development were all contributing factors in achieving new records in all key figures – sales, earnings and employee numbers. Despite the downturn in the global economy, the Hansgrohe Group's total net sales rose by 16 percent year over year (adjusted for currency effects: 17 percent), to €661m (2006: €569m). The main underpinning for growth is the sustained dynamic uptrend of foreign business. With an increase of 20 percent year over year adding €86m to reach €521m – contributions from foreign business climbed to 79 percent (2006: 76 percent). With yet another gain in the domestic market as well, the Hansgrohe Group managed to increase its net sales for the sixth consecutive year. The fact that the German economy has lost momentum in the meantime reflects the reduced growth rate of the Hansgrohe Group in the domestic market. However, with a four percent increase in sales revenues compared to 2006, the Hansgrohe Group extended its share even further in a shrinking domestic market. Germany remains the biggest single market in terms of sales revenue with €140m (2006: €134m). Thanks to this positive trend in the sales figures, earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation for the Hansgrohe Group rose to €131m by December 31, 2007 (2006: €110m). The systematic continuation of the efficiency enhancement program, “Plus 21,” succeeded in boosting the EBITDA margin by 19.9 percent -(2006: 19.3 percent).

Hansgrohe Employees The number of employees in the Hansgrohe Group reached a new high by December 31, 2007, with a total of 3,253 (2006: 3,094). The bulk of new jobs was again accounted for by the German facilities. Including the 130 new jobs created in Schiltach and Offenburg during the last financial year, the total increase in the workforce in Germany over the last five years was 380 – a gain of more than 22 percent. In particular, the systematic implementation of flexible working-time models in the German plants, ensuring high capacity utilization of the production facilities, enabled the company to steadily increase its workforce in Germany. In contrast, the increase in the workforce outside Germany was more moderate in 2007, with the number of employees on the cut-off date of December 31, 2007 amounting to 1,171 (2006: 1,142). Worldwide, the total workforce of the Hansgrohe Group was 3,180 on average for the last financial year (2006: 2,947), with 64 percent employed by the company in Germany.

Solar Power Clean Energy for Hansgrohe's Offenburg Plant Since 1993, Hansgrohe has powered its production facility in Offenburg, Germany, using environmentally-friendly solar energy equipment. The photovoltaic power generator produces enough electricity per year to supply 40 single-family homes with power. The electricity from the solar energy is fed in its entirety into the Offenburg plant’s power grid and is utilized in eco-friendly shower manufacturing. The power generator reduces roughly 100 tons of greenhouse gases per year.

We offer innovative design solutions for bathrooms in which users recognise themselves.

Ecological Concerns Hansgrohe AG receives two Focus Green awards at the 2008 Baden-Württemberg International Design Awards. "Regardless of flow pressure, EcoSmart technology reduces the water consumption of the Crometta 85 Green by up to 60 per cent compared with conventional shower sprays." Schiltach, November 2008. Environmental protection and sustainability were the two key aspects at the 2008 Baden-Württemberg International Design Awards. Companies and designers from home and abroad were competing for this year's government award from the state of Baden-Württemberg, the “Focus Green”, with a total of 230 products. Hansgrohe AG, headquartered in the nearby Black Forest, came away with two “Focus Green in Silver” awards in the “Bathroom and Sanitation” category. The shower system Raindance Connect Showerpipe EcoSmart and the hand spray Hansgrohe Crometta 85 Green – both styled by Phoenix Design (Stuttgart/Tokyo) impressed the design experts on the jury of six not only with their high design quality but also with their astonishingly low consumption figures, while maintaining a constantly high level of showering comfort. Just 9.5 litres of water per minute flow through the innovative Raindance shower system, whereas the Hansgrohe Crometta 85 Green hand spray manages with only six litres per minute. This is made possible by the novel Hansgrohe EcoSmart technology, developed by the company's own fluid stream research facility. “It has always been important for Hansgrohe to find a common denominator for good design, perfect showering comfort and a responsible level of water consumption,” explains Richard Grohe, deputy chairman and Hansgrohe brand manager. “We are therefore particularly pleased that our efforts to design long lasting products with a low impact on resources have been rewarded with two Focus Green awards.”

Bo-Gron Award:

First prize for Pontos AquaCycle Environmentally friendly building and living is becoming increasingly important in many countries. The Danish living and design magazine “Bo Bedre” (Better Living) too is promoting a greater awareness of ecological and sustainable products. Within the framework of its annual award presentation for good design and innovative products in October, the magazine also awarded a Grøn-Pris (green prize) for ecological products. AquaCycle, the grey water recycling system of Pontos, a subsidiary of Hansgrohe AG, won first prize. The award money of €10,000 will benefit an environmental project which will be nominated by Hansgrohe Denmark and Pontos together with the magazine Bo Bedre. The idea behind water recycling (www.pontos-aquacycle.de) is simple in concept: After a shower, the purified and reprocessed water is used to flush the toilet, do the laundry, or water the garden. In this vein, AquaCycle systems purify shower and bathing water according to a patented process in a purely mechanical and biological manner without added chemicals. The treated water generated this way is hygienically clean and can be used for any purpose that doesn't require drinking-water quality. The quality of the water meets the requirements of the EU directive for bathing water, and even laundry can be washed without any loss in quality. Dealing thriftily with water as a resource is not the only result of this. Utilities costs are also reduced thanks to the decreased consumption of potable water and the smaller amount of wastewater. The standard version of the AquaCycle is designed for single-family homes or duplexes and consists of three pre-assembled modules. These can be expanded in larger properties in almost any way desired. Today the range of products includes systems with a reprocessing capacity of between 600 and 30,000 liters a day. For large projects whose requirements are not covered by the product range offered, Pontos develops special custom-tailored solutions in collaboration with technical planners and architects. www.sanitary-uae.com
