Over the last few months , we have used LinkedIn to promote our curated Care + Range ( a range that focuses on assisted mobility , comfort height , medical and health , germ-control , and enhanced hygiene products ). According to Sulize Van Rensburg , Specifications Consultant : “ We are definitely seeing an increased demand for our Care + Range products , and our newly-introduced grab rails have become incredibly popular .”
Recent Industry Hurdles Anne Vaudin , LecicoSA ’ s Commercial Manager , says : “ The sanitary ware industry was heavily impacted by the COVID pandemic . Showrooms closed , construction projects came to an almost stand-still , and product importation saw severe delays and price hikes .”
Lecico ’ s Notable Success The COVID-era challenges resulted in notable successes for Lecico . How did this happen ? Lecico ’ s reputation of dependability and reliability resulted not only in customer retention , but also in exceptional sales growth . With two massive warehouses in Cape Town , and with smart and agile procurement processes , Lecico ensures sufficient stock levels to meet demand . In addition , Lecico benefits from its industry reputation of product variety and product quality . Lecico is well-known for its internationally certified ceramic products that come with an impressive 20-year warranty .
With the loosening of COVID-related restrictions , and with the resumption and increase in construction projects , Lecico has experienced a definite boom in our Projects Division . Lecico products have been selected for several large-scale projects including a premier hospital chain , a prestigious national private school , multiple high-end residential estates , a leading national retail chain , as well as a major national motor vehicle dealership chain .
Jacky Rossouw , Sales Director , has this to say : “ We are simultaneously humbled and honoured by our successes this year , and we are truly proud of Lecico ’ s strong reputation in the market . We are all incredibly excited for the 2022 landscape !”
