KLUDI Featured in The Major German Brands 2026

KLUDI has been recognized as one of The Major German Brands 2026 by the German Design Council. The annual publication celebrates outstanding German companies whose commitment to design drives innovation and business transformation.

For the first time, KLUDI joins this distinguished group of brands, highlighting its strategic evolution from a fittings specialist to a full-range bathroom supplier. The 2026 edition of the book focuses on design as a driving force for corporate transformation and was officially presented during the Design Gala at Soho House Berlin on November 6, 2025.

“Design is far more than aesthetics – it reflects who we are and forms an integral part of our corporate strategy,” says Harald Hotop, CEO of KLUDI. “Our ambition is to create not only functional but also emotional value through design. Being included among The Major German Brands is a great honor and recognition of this commitment.”

With a heritage of nearly 100 years, KLUDI continues to exemplify German design excellence through consistent brand management, timeless product design, and a holistic approach that integrates innovation and sustainability.

The book, published in English, serves as an international showcase of leading German brands and their success stories—demonstrating how design can shape the future of business and strengthen resilience in a changing world.
