Perhaps not as well known in South Africa for their bathroom applications, fischer has a selection of sanitary fixing solutions that ensure quick, simple and extremely secure installations.

These product packs are engineered and specially designed for fastening washroom utilities like basins, toilet bowls, geysers or urinals to the available plumbing and all bathroom surfaces; including concrete, natural stone, solid brick, plasterboard, gypsum fibreboards and chipboards. fischer offers the fixing you need to securely hold all sanitary ware in place.

Take for example their toilet fixing range - the WCN; S 8 D 70 WCR and S 8 RD WCR which all come with chrome and white coloured caps and have a brass screw with a hexagon head and slot.  The large snap-fit sleeve on the WCN compensates for fairly large or irregular holes that have been formed into the porcelain and can also be used for fixing mirrors and ceramic shelves.

This month, marked the first international visit of Mr. Torsten Eckstein to South Africa. He was accompanied by seasoned South African traveller, Mr. Gerold Pachlhofer - the Group Area Sales Manager for most of this continent. Both were eagerly welcomed to the Johannesburg offices where they came to observe trends in the South African construction and DIY markets; and experience first hand, the service we offer our clients. 

Mr. Eckstein has been with fischer Fixings International for 14 years and is a member of the Management Board of fischer International. He heads up a team of 30 people which facilitates highly skilled International Technical Sales Support; and Product Management and Development services. With this goal in mind, Mr. Eckstein wanted to identify the South African product needs in order to feed information back to his German colleagues in the International Marketing, Research and Product Development departments of fischer International.
