The Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) has announced Kiwa Watertec as a Silver Sponsor for the upcoming Connect Conference 2025, set to take place on September 16–17 at the Grand Hotel in Birmingham.
This year’s theme, “Connect the Dots”, will highlight the importance of collaboration across the bathroom industry — uniting manufacturers, supply chains, retailers, and merchants to address challenges and unlock new growth opportunities. In a fast-changing market, working together is key to ensuring resilience, innovation, and sustainable development.
Kiwa Watertec, a trusted member of the BMA, plays a vital role in supporting bathroom manufacturers through its comprehensive testing, approval, and certification services. With expertise spanning sanitary tapware, toilets, valves, pipes, fittings and showers, Kiwa helps companies achieve compliance and quality assurance for products destined for the UK, Europe, and global markets.
Their services — including product design evaluation, pre-compliance testing, and performance assessments — are crucial when the bathroom industry must align product standards with evolving regulatory expectations and consumer demands. This aligns directly with the conference theme, which champions partnerships and shared expertise to drive the industry forward.
Jonathan Price, Business Development Manager at Kiwa Watertec, said:
“We are delighted to sponsor the BMA Connect Conference 2025. At Kiwa Watertec, we work closely with manufacturers to bring safe, compliant, and high-quality products to market. Supporting the industry through trusted testing and certification services is not just our role — it’s our responsibility. As the sector faces rapid change, this conference is a great opportunity to exchange ideas and strengthen the collective standards that benefit everyone involved.”
Tom Reynolds, Chief Executive of the BMA, added:
“Kiwa Watertec’s support as a Silver Sponsor demonstrates their commitment to the bathroom manufacturing community. The sector faces ongoing challenges — from regulatory pressures to innovation demands — but we can be confident about our direction in 2025 by fostering collaboration and focusing on shared solutions. The Connect Conference is where those critical conversations begin.”
With keynote speakers Alex Depledge and Anna Leach, alongside dynamic panel discussions and unparalleled networking opportunities, Connect Conference 2025 will provide a platform for actionable insights and strategic alignment across the sector.
