History

A success story since 1958

Much has changed since the founding of Nolte Küchen – with passion, innovative spirit, and a clear focus on quality, we have developed into one of the leading kitchen brands in Germany. We are particularly proud that we remain a family-owned company to this day, embodying values such as reliability, sustainability, and customer proximity.

Milestones of our success story

  • 1958 – Founding of Nolte Küchen: With a clear vision, the company started in East Westphalia with approx. 60 employees and laid the foundation for high-quality kitchens “Made in Germany”.
  • 1974 – Our second location was opened in Melle.
  • 1990s – Expansion of the sales structure: The brand became increasingly known and firmly established itself in the kitchen market. Soon the exhibition area in Löhne was no longer sufficient, and a modern information and exhibition center covering more than 3000 m² was built.
  • 2000s – Focus on design and individuality: Nolte Küchen brought flexible kitchen programs onto the market, tailored to the customers' diverse lifestyles. A new dimension grid called Matrix150 was born. A milestone in the kitchen furniture industry.
  • 2020s – Expansion of the product range: Due to growing demand, Nolte Küchen extended its portfolio to include matching living area and bathroom furniture – everything in proven Nolte quality.
  • 2021 – The exhibition space in Löhne was no longer sufficient. Therefore, the area was expanded to more than 7000 m². Our Nolte FORUM was officially opened in September 2021 and is available during the week as a source of inspiration for all end customers and specialist retail partners.
  • Today – Modern production facilities, sustainable processes and a comprehensive product range make Nolte Küchen the first choice for anyone who values quality, design and functionality.
