Applying 'Canstone & Radiance' and Gautech's reinforced stone 'Marmor,' Gautech — a marble specialist company — has launched a premium 'engineered marble shelf' that can be used for shelves in home bathrooms and for restroom shelves in commercial facilities (department stores, cinemas, hotels, etc.), and has begun full-scale marketing.
Unlike conventional bathroom shelves, Gautech's 'engineered marble bathroom shelf' is distinguished by its heightened sense of luxury, achieved through the use of Hyundai L&C's 'Canstone' and Lotte's 'Radiance' — both products with already proven quality — as well as Gautech's own reinforced stone 'Marmor.' 'Canstone' and 'Radiance' are premium reinforced natural stones that perfectly compensate for the shortcomings of natural marble, and with 99% natural quartz as their main raw material, they deliver the luxurious colors and textures of natural stone. In addition, 'Marmor' is likewise a reinforced stone that compensates for the shortcomings of natural marble, and is an eco-friendly material currently used across a wide range of fields.
A Gautech representative said, "The new engineered marble bathroom shelf has attained not only domestic eco-friendly certification but also the demanding product certifications of the United States and Europe at the highest level, so customers can enjoy safe, high-quality products. Another advantage is that, thanks to vacuum compression molding, it does not absorb moisture, so no stains form and no bacteria or mold develop. Furthermore, regarding radon emissions — a recent concern — we have obtained radon test results to ensure
product safety," he said. Beyond this, its outstanding compressive strength and durability make it resistant to scratches and external impacts, while stains wipe off easily and there is little risk of breakage, making maintenance convenient. Gautech's bathroom shelves are currently sold online as standard-size products, and non-standard sizes and bulk purchases are also available. In particular, because the online market makes price comparison easy, Gautech plans to offer its 'engineered marble bathroom shelf' at a reasonable price point based on stability, despite it being a premium product.
In addition, Gautech intends to further expand its B2C market through this online sale of the 'engineered marble bathroom shelf.' A Gautech representative said, "We are already expanding our B2C market through the premium furniture brand Musa. Launched in 2015, Musa is offered online, and thanks to strong consumer preference its sales have steadily increased. Recently, buoyed by Musa's sales growth, we opened a showroom on Nonhyeon-ro in Gangnam-gu, further expanding our points of contact with consumers," he said.
Meanwhile, Gautech is a domestic marble specialist company founded in 1990 that has shared in the history of marble up to the present day, with its quality recognized both at home and abroad. Gautech operates a total of four factories, including its headquarters in Yongin and a branch in Icheon, and offers reasonably priced products through direct factory operation (0% marble distribution margin). Its strengths also lie in its superior quality, backed by strict quality control at its own factories and the know-how of skilled, experienced installers. In particular, Gautech ranks first in Korea for material inventory, holding large quantities of materials in a wide range of types and colors as it develops various interior products. Gautech plans to expand and relocate its headquarters in 2019, and will continue to develop bathroom products, offering reasonably priced
bathroom products that consumers can easily install themselves. 031-333-3016
