Prouds launches BoschHome Appliances

Fiji’s retail pioneersProuds continues to in-spire customers with

world-class products.And the latest addition to its

line of home appliances is noneother than Bosch – a name thatstands for reliability, sustainabil-ity and well-engineered technolo-gies.

Prouds chairman Kirit Patelsays the company is proud to be

 partnering with Bosch New Zea-land to give Fijian customers a to-tally new level of experience andcomfort.

“Bosch home appliances setworldwide standards not onlywith their high-quality materi-als and pioneering precision, butalso by means of their unmistak-

ably clear design language whichtransfers high quality standardseven into the smallest details, al-lowing the consumer to experi-ence them with all the senses,”Mr Patel said.

“The design of Bosch homeappliances always supports thefunction of each appliance, andfocuses primarily on the user,”Mr Patel added.

He said Prouds will strive forthe best to ensure Bosch reachesas many Fijian homes as possible.

“What distinguishes Boschhome appliances from other

 brands is quality, durability, per-formance, German heritage since1886 and continuous innovationin technology and research,” MrPatel added.

“It is not coincidental that the brands advertising claim “Invent-ed for life” drives Bosch HomeAppliances - it is the heartfeltconviction that pervades Bosch’shistory, culture, business strategyand products.

“Since the company’s incep-tion, Bosch has been developing

innovations that serve people.“For home appliances, it

means giving people peace ofmind for their daily life at home

in a sustainable, resource savingmanner for generations to come.

“Hence to increase awarenessof energy and water ef ficiency re-

lated to home appliances will be-come integral part while address-ing the consumer needs in Fiji,”Mr Patel said.

WHEN Robert Bosch founded his company130-years-ago, who would have thought

that Bosch as a brand would one day be a globalleader and trendsetter in all it’s fields of diversified

 business.Founding his company in the year 1886 in Stutt-

gart which is today the eighth largest city in Ger-many, Robert Bosch was a humble man with excep-tional entrepreneurial skills.

A visionary leader who led his team of dedicat-ed staff by setting good examples, Robert alwaysvalued his staff and customers alike, often going togreat lengths to ensure a loyal and dedicated team ofstaff and satisfied customers.

The company initially specialized in precisionmechanics and electrical engineering with more fo-cus on automotive parts from 1901 onwards.

It was not until 1933, nine-years before Robert’s

death that Bosch diversified into the home applianceand white goods market manufacturing their first re-frigerator that year.

“As history records, there has been no looking

 back for Bosch in this segment of the market,” Mo-tibhai Group marketing executive Sujan Patel says.

“Today Bosch is the largest home appliancemanufacturer in Europe, and the 2nd largest world-wide,” Mr Patel adds.

He said Bosch’s product portfolio spans the en-tire spectrum of modern household appliances thatincludes everything from stoves, ovens, extractorhoods, dishwashers, washers, dryers, refrigerators,and freezers to small appliances like vacuum clean-ers.

“This makes Bosch the only full-range providerof home appliances globally and we are proud to

 bring it in Fiji for our customers.”

Three centuries of

 tea with TwiningsIf it was not for Twinings, tea would have continued to be a luxury

item accessible to only the rich and famous.This iconic British brand which is renowned the world over was

established in 1706 by Thomas Twining and has played the most sig-nificant role in making tea a readily available drink for everyone.

During the early days of Twinings as a brand, high taxes and propa-ganda against tea meant the masses were deprived of what would turnout to be the most popular beverage in the world.

It was not until 1784 when Richard Twining, a descendant of Thom-as was able to convince the then British Prime Minister William Pitt onthe benefits of reducing taxes – this led to a massive surge in consump-tion and also increased earnings for the government.

This very important event marked the beginning of tea-drinking as part of everyday life and in that fact the tea revolution as many call it.

 Now more than 300-years later and ten generations down the lane,Twinings continues to inspire tea lovers across the globe with Fiji – aslittle a market we are being no exception.

Even after three centuries of operations, the passion and love fortea remains the same at Twinings. In fact you will still find a Twiningat work on your visit to the Twinings headquarters. A tenth generation

gure in making sure that everythingis up to standard, spreading the Twinings message across the globe andhelping make sure Thomas’s promise is never broken.

“We wouldn’t have your beloved tea without this family, they aretruly remarkable and have taught the world what there is to knowabout good quality tea,” Motibhai Group marketing manager AbrahamGomes said.

“The good news is that today you can find your favourite blend ofTwinings in many different flavours unlike when it all began in 1706,”Mr Gomes added.

He said all leading supermarkets are carrying the good range ofTwinings teas with a taste suited for every tea lover.

“The Green Tea & Lemon has taken the market by storm because ofits vibrant and zesty taste and health benefits,” Mr Gomes said.

“A mild green tea and a juicy lemon flavour have been blended fora light refreshing tea to add a little zing to your day.

“Harmoniously balanced, Green Tea & Lemon are perfect for eachother. The flavour of lemon brings out the fragrant green tea in thisdelicious pairing.

“Enjoy this zesty and vibrant tea and let it fill your moment with alittle burst of sunshine.”
