Algol-Trehab begins selling Temal bathroom fixtures for persons with restricted mobility
The leading Nordic manufacturer of enamelled sanitary products Temal Oy has developed a Five Centimetre Concept, according to which the customer can order bathroom fixtures flexibly in different dimensions. As part of this concept, Temal has introduced bathroom fixtures designed especially for persons with restricted mobility (PRM), which it has sold and marketed under its own name.
"This autumn we will introduce a new series of fixtures for utility rooms under the same concept, and we feel that we must focus in the future on developing and manufacturing. For this reason we have been looking for an established and respected co-operation partner to sell and market our PRM products, which we found in Algol-Trehab," says Boris Höglund, Managing Director of Temal.
"Temal's products will further increase our flexibility and expand our product assortment. We will now be able to offer the most comprehensive range of products to the healthcare and social welfare sector in Finland," comments Kaarina Lampén, Managing Director of Algol-Trehab.
The partnership between Temal and Algol-Trehab enters into force on 17 June 2010.
