Geberit and Pangaea

We are proud to be a part of this great project and to help improve the everyday lives of many people. There are many reasons for Geberit's participation. The three most important ones:

Our confidence in Mike Horn and his team

Mike Horn and his team have gained our confidence as a result of the expertise, know-how, experience and knowledge that they have gained over many years and have put to the test under extraordinary and extreme conditions.

Water and hygiene

Water is our subject. More than 40 percent of the world's population today has neither clean drinking water nor sanitary facilities. Their absence accounts for the death of a child every twenty seconds. Geberit wants to use this initiative to contribute to the building or renovation of sanitary systems in schools and other institutions along the Pangaea route, and thus also to improve the lives of many children.

Education and training

We want to educate people around the globe in the efficient handling of fresh water, instruct them in the installation of sanitary systems as well as school them in the subject of hygiene. We also want to include our own employees in these activities.

Geberit has held events for clients and media representatives in various European cities as well as New York leading up to the actual Pangaea expedition. On the occasion of these gatherings on the Pangaea ship, our guests were introduced to Mike Horn and learned more about the project.
