                                          VERSATILE GEYSER SOLUTIONS
                                          SUPAHOT’s goal is to be the go-to company for versatile
                                          geyser solutions.
                                          The company’s journey started in 2018 when SUPAHOT
                                          took  over  and  rebranded the Franke  range.  Since
                                          then, they have worked day and night to bring their
                                          customers only the best in geysers.
                                          Breaking into this business has had its challenges as the
                                          company’s competitors had set the bar very high.  In
                                          order to meet the same standards, SUPAHOT needed
                                          to bring together the best manufacturing machinery
                                          and the most skilled staff. They have succeeded
                                          and are now one of only three manufacturers in the
                                          country. Their strategy for breaking into an already
                                          monopolistic market has been quality and localisation.
                                          This strategy required a campaign to create awareness
                                          of their products quality characteristics among end
                                          users – particularly among plumbers.
                                          Geyser Design
                                          SUPAHOT’s geysers are characteristically different from
                                          existing manufacturers and competitors; they have
                                          gone back to the basics of geyser design.
                                          In addition, they are not cutting costs: the minimum
                                          specification for an anode in a geyser is 19mm, theirs
                                          is larger which adds considerably to the lifespan of
                                          a geyser. They’ve kept a galvanised endcap whereas
                                          the market, for cost savings purposes, has moved to
