Highway service area with a special touch

2theloo at Break-Autohof Evendorf (DE)

The Dutch company 2theloo has installed its public toilet facilities in Germany in a newly opened motorway service area near Hamburg. Geberit plays a key role in 2theloo facilities.

The public WC at a motorway service area is often extremely busy. This makes solid toilet facilities essential. Take the Break Autohof in Evendorf near Hamburg: on weekend days, a good 900 people go to the toilet here every day. Between 6 a.m. and midnight, that means almost one toilet visit per minute – without interruption.

In the Dutch company 2theLoo, the Autohof has found a partner for the toilet facility that will turn this mass handling into an experience. “With the facility in Evendorf, we basically want to say: let's make going to the toilet surprisingly pleasant and convenient,“ says Chris Meijers, CEO of 2theLoo. The result is a mixture of innovative technology, ecological solutions and the highest quality.

Efficient, aesthetic, hygienic
Many of the sanitary products come from Geberit. From the cisterns and actuator plates to the toilets, urinals and taps. “We needed very efficient toilets and urinals that also looked good,“ says Chris Meijers. Geberit impressed the company founder with the toilet installations at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. “The ONE toilets with TurboFlush and the automatic urinals were exactly what we were looking for. They are sustainable and innovative.“

2theloo tested the Geberit products in detail. The toilets with TurboFlush meant “less hassle when cleaning“, says Chris Meijers, as they virtually clean themselves thanks to their powerful flushing performance. “And automatic urinals are convenient and save water.“ The touchless taps “look cool“ and are easy to clean. “It was also important to us that the products are durable.“

Established in Western Europe
The BREAK car park in Evendorf is one of the first 2theloo facilities in Germany, but the company is well established elsewhere. It operates around 180 public toilets in Benelux, France, Germany and other countries – at motorways and train stations as well as at tourist locations such as Notre-Dame and the Louvre in Paris or London's Covent Garden. The partnership with Geberit has existed since 2018. “We were involved in the planning at a very early stage – when a new concept for sanitary facilities was being created,“ says Armand Gademan, key account manager at Geberit in the Netherlands.
