My aim is to make Roca and LAUFEN the number one bathroom brand in this region.”

However, I’ll still be seeking out new opportunities while strengthening relationships with existing customers. As for Roca, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to promote the brand. There are many exciting new products on the horizon, and I look forward to discussing them with potential customers. I’m really pleased to have joined the Roca team.”
