GEZA – A story of innovation

The affordable housing market in South Africa has traditionally suffered from high priced, poor quality and aesthetically unappealing plumbing products. What was needed, was a cost effective, space saving product that was quick and easy to install and maintain. Modular Plumbing Units cc was perfectly positioned in the market to respond to the need for a compact, high quality and efficient plumbing solution.

In April 1999, the unique GEZA Easy Fit Bathroom was prototyped and patented. No wet trades were required for installation, with all components made of high quality material, easily available and accessible for minimum maintenance. The first 14 GEZA units were installed in a high rise building in Hillbrow, Johannesburg in September 1999, for the Johannesburg Housing Company. An innovative solution had made its way into the South African housing market, with the GEZA Easy Fit Bathroom nominated as a finalist for the Technology Top100 awards in 2000 and winning Innovation Awards from the DTI in 2002 and 2003. The first large scale installation of the GEZA Easy Fit Bathroom was in Pretoria, Gauteng for City Properties (Pty) Ltd.
By February 2001, more than 580 GEZA units had been installed in four high rise buildings that were converted from offices into residential apartments.

The next step in the evolution of this innovative brand was the export of GEZA Easy Fit Bathroom units into Africa and Europe for use in houses, offices, ablution blocks and defence force barracks. In April 2003 the GEZA Easy Fit Bathroom made its foray into the homeowners market for use in garden cottages, staff quarters, flatlets, guest houses and existing homes that were never built with bathrooms. This demand has been overwhelming, with the market growing exponentially as a result. By 2010 up to 20000 Bathroom Units have been successfully installed in social housing projects, high rise buildings and garden cottages throughout South Africa.

A complimentary extension to the bathroom units has been the kitchen sink unit, and more recently, the all-in-one sink, stove and fridge unit, with hot water supplied to the kitchen sink from the geyser located under the basin in the bathroom. The range of GEZA kitchen units are now successfully sold into large scale housing projects and the growing homeowner market.

The latest development has been the introduction of the GEZA Shower unit, with its all-in-one design, easy and innovative installation, making it a real favourite amongst developers and homeowners throughout South Africa.

The GEZA Brand, in it's short history, has made waves in the building industry, not only because of its superior aesthetic and quality of manufacture, but also because it is challenging conventional methods of construction, supply, procurement and installation.
