GBR Auto, the only distributor of Dyson Airblade hand driers in Romania, has so far installed 100 such devices and intends to reach over 250 units sold by the end of the year and revenues of 250 to 300,000 euros.
"We installed the first dryers in 2010, but we really started the business this year," explains Teo Păduraru, shareholder of GBR Auto, where he has Dragoş Frăţilă as a partner. Such a hand dryer costs 781 euros. "We have sold them to bars, hotels, companies in the auto parts industry, and even to a town hall."
GBR Auto's clients include the Hilton hotel, the Dacia plant, Bordello's pub in Bucharest's Old Centre, Băneasa Shopping City, Europe House office building, Continental Automotive, Michelin Romania, according to company data.
Teo Păduraru, who used to be a shareholder of Best Computers, Best Distribution and Kingwich, says he is holding talks with facility management companies for them to rent out the hand dryers, which would mean a lower cost for the end user. Starting in the second half of this year, GBR Auto will also distribute Dyson vacuum cleaners in Romania. According to the company's website, the price of a vacuum cleaner starts from 219 euros and can reach up to 600 euros.
