Global cleaning technology and solutions leader K\u00e4rcher inaugurated its first service center and showroom in the Philippines, as part of efforts to bring the innovative products closer to Filipinos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in Sucat, Para\u00f1aque, the new K\u00e4rcher Center serves as a showroom where visitors can view and buy the company\u2019s latest products. Customers and potential business clients can also personally experience the products or see how they work through a demonstration by professionals. In addition, the center also functions as the business and service center for Filipino customers for both the Home & Garden as well as the Professional product lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new flagship K\u00e4rcher Center will definitely help develop our commitment to bring the right cleaning solution to every Filipino customer. With the brand new showroom and service center, local customers can now expect full and immediate support from us\u00a0\u2500\u00a0from simply inquiring about our products to actually seeing and using the products in action for a test run,\u201d said\u00a0K\u00e4rcher Philippines Country Manager Zurich Fernandez.<\/p>\n

The opening of the K\u00e4rcher Center is a sign of the budding German interest in setting up business in the Philippines. \u201cThe Philippines is an economic powerhouse in the Southeast region, and together with its English-speaking population, it is no wonder that German firms are confident in expanding in the country. I\u2019m very excited that a company as huge as K\u00e4rcher is now here. It will not only bring world-class cleaning technologies for Filipinos but also help both nations\u2019 economies in creating job opportunities,\u201d said\u00a0Dr. Andree Buhl, Economic and Commercial Counsellor of the German Embassy in Manila.<\/p>\n

The same sentiments were shared by\u00a0Para\u00f1aque Vice Mayor Jose Enrico Golez, who wished that the city\u2019s ongoing partnership with K\u00e4rcher will lead to more opportunities for growth. \u201cOn behalf of the city, I am very happy that we have new investors here in Para\u00f1aque. Germany has a longstanding relationship with the Philippines that I\u2019m not surprised a great German company has invested here. We hope that this is the start of a very good relationship with K\u00e4rcher, which will contribute to further economic growth in the Philippines.\u201d<\/p>\n

K\u00e4rcher\u2019s decision to complement the online shopping trend by opening a physical showroom is a testament to its commitment to show customers that cleaning is a process. \u201cBy having a brick-and-mortar-store, we can teach our customers the right process. We can offer them advice and practical learning through our professionals. At the same time, it gives us the opportunity to know our customers better by way of face-to-face interactions,\u201d Fernandez added.<\/p>\n

The new K\u00e4rcher Center is part of the company\u2019s ongoing initiatives in the Philippines. Earlier this year, it restored the People Power Monument along EDSA, and last December, refurbished the Rizal Monument in Luneta Park. Both of these are under the \u201cK\u00e4rcher Cleans the World\u201d campaign that aims to help preserve national and historic landmark across the world.<\/p>\n
