Franke Kitchen Systems Group Joins the ArtiCAD Supplier Partnership Programme

Leading CAD software specialist for the KBB sector, ArtiCAD, announces that Franke Kitchen Systems Group is one of the latest companies in South Africa to become a member of its ArtiCAD Supplier Partnership Programme.

Franke’s have an innovative range of intelligent hygiene systems for both commercial and domestic sectors. The domestic range is now being included as a comprehensive graphics catalogue within the ArtiCAD-Pro software. Designers wishing to use Franke’s products can simply search the catalogue and then drag & drop the selected items into their design to provide customers with a detailed, extremely accurate 3D representation of the new room.

In mid-2010, several of Franke’s distributors started encouraging the company to look at the ArtiCAD-Pro software.  Leigh-Anne Robertson, Marketing Co-ordinator, Franke Kitchen Systems: “We could see immediately that ArtiCAD-Pro was an excellent tool for all kitchen unit manufacturers and designers as it enables them to provide their customers with a fully rendered, 3D lifestyle view of the proposed layout.  We are also pleased by the precision and accuracy of the details in the 3D rendered graphics of our products in the ArtiCAD software.” 

For Franke, membership of the ArtiCAD Supplier Partnership has already brought greater brand awareness of the company’s products – which include sinks, mixers, accessories and waste management products - to its marketplace. It has also played an important role in encouraging designers to specify Franke products within their designs.  A new range of Franke sinks and sink mixers will be available in the ArtiCAD-Pro software in the very near future. 

Franke’s factory is based in Durban with sales office in Midrand, Cape Town and Durban.
