Celebrating with Kermi were guests from the UK accompanied by Gwynn Smitham the Managing Director of Kermi (UK) who commented:
“Fifty Years of product innovation, design, and quality engineering underwritten with the “Made in Germany” badge of quality, has made Kermi the market leading force it is today. A Half Century – and still batting strongly.
Quite some innings”!!!
