Hadrian Elite steel toilet cubicles have been installed in all the washrooms at the DAF Trucks UK headquarters at Haddenham in Buckinghamshire. DAF is a leading global truck manufacturer with a firm focus on innovation, quality and transport efficiency. They were among the first European truck manufacturers to comply with the ISO 14001 standard for environmental care so it is not surprising that it wasn’t just the superb durability and practicality of Hadrian cubicles that DAF found attractive, but also their green credentials. Hadrian's products feature a high recycled content with the powder coated cubicles made from 50% recycled material. For stainless steel that figure rises to 91%.
