- Unique design. There is a long story to tell about German design and numerous prizes and awards. But there is the very fact that the best companies from Germany put the uniqueness of the product as one of the most important goals. It has to express itself externally, which is why every major German plumbing firm has one or more design bureaus trying to create something beautiful and unique.
