With two managers in the sales department, the innovative manufacturer of quartz composite sinks and provider of high-quality taps will be able to provide its customers with an even more targeted and individual service in the future.

With their knowledge and dedication and the verifiable successes that they have achieved for the company, they will continue to help SCHOCK to build upon its positive development of the last few years.”

Standing still is an unknown concept to the inventors of the quartz composite sink from Regen, Germany. In their in-house R&D lab there’s an innovative team working continually on optimising their high-grade products. And the team did it again: they created a world first in the form of CRISTADUR^® Green Line, the most sustainable quartz composite sinks from SCHOCK. With this evolution, the innovation leader gives dealers the option to position themselves and offers end customers a product line that is consistent with the movement towards conscious consumption and greater consideration of the way every individual’s actions shape the future. The innovative material’s development marks a rigorous continuation of the sustainability drive pursued by the Bavarian company, which has always produced its quartz composite sinks in harmony with nature and the local region: SCHOCK is the only quartz composite sink manufacturer to produce exclusively in Germany, naturally using quartz sand from the local region.
