“BLANCO is a renowned kitchen water place specialist, offering a system solution designed to elevate the functionality and aesthetics of domestic kitchens,” said Lars Myrup, Managing Director at BLANCO APAC. “The BLANCO UNIT is synonymous with functional systems in complementary designs, from SILGRANIT sinks to mixer taps and waste separation systems.

The new showroom invites visitors to experience the perfect blend of style and practicality that characterizes contemporary Filipino kitchens. Showcasing BLANCO UNITs in new colors like volcano grey and soft white, alongside finishes like satin gold and black matt, the space offers a rich palette for customers seeking a sophisticated look for their kitchen.
In addition to the elegant SILGRANIT sinks and high-end mixer taps, BLANCO introduces its innovative food waste disposer (FWD), providing a sustainable solution for managing organic waste. This addition reflects BLANCO’s dedication to eco-friendly practices, promoting a cleaner, more efficient kitchen environment.
“At BLANCO, the design process is driven by a pursuit of excellence and a deep understanding of consumer needs.

BLANCO’s ability to stay ahead of design trends is another factor that sets it apart. “We engage in extensive trendspotting activities, continuously monitoring international trend portals and industry forecasts to stay ahead of the curve,” Myrup said. “Our designers develop products that reflect the latest trends while possessing a timeless quality. With new shades in our SILGRANIT color palette and expanded options for mixer taps, we offer consumers the freedom to create kitchen spaces that reflect individual tastes and needs.”
Sustainability is a core component of BLANCO’s product design and corporate philosophy. “Our waste organization bins and food waste disposers, like the FWD, provide sustainable solutions for managing organic waste,” Myrup noted. “These systems promote hygiene, reduce odors, and lower landfill waste, enhancing kitchen cleanliness and environmental responsibility.”
Looking to the future, BLANCO is focusing on integrating smart technology into its products. “We are developing mixer taps with touchless controls and drinking systems with connectivity features,” Myrup shared. “Additionally, we are expanding our range of color finishes and configurations to allow customers to create bespoke kitchen spaces that suit their unique needs.”

Our commitment to quality ensures that our kitchen fixtures are safe and reliable for all family members.”
“At BLANCO, we are dedicated to offering system solutions for the water place in domestic kitchens,” Myrup concluded. “We are delighted to unveil our new showroom space at Dexterton BGC, where customers can get inspired to individualize their BLANCO UNITs and experience firsthand the quality, innovation, and design excellence that BLANCO is known for.”
