Rotpunkt, award-winning designer and manufacturer of climate friendly German Kitchen furniture, is pleased to report a consistently healthy turnover of 100 million EUR in 2023, along with new geographical and commercial growth markets, and more value per kitchen for the retailer following the company’s latest finance report at year end…

Healthy annual turnover: As the KBB market continues to navigate the UK economy, significant environmental change, and associated manufacturing costs, Rotpunkt Küchen has achieved a healthy turnover of 100 million EUR for two consecutive years. Andreas Wagner and Heinz-Jürgen Meyer, Managing Partners at Rotpunkt Küchen explain, “In view of the extremely difficult market conditions that followed the enhanced demand of COVID-19, this is a very satisfactory result.” Sven Herden, Managing Director of Sales & Marketing agrees and adds, “Of course we would like to achieve more growth in turnover but, given the widely reported economic downturn and inflation, I feel these results are realistic for the beginning of the year.” In fact, the company’s turnover has steadily risen over the last 5-10 years, seeing an increase of over 35 million euros when compared to 2018 figures at 65 million EUR.

More value per kitchen: Helping to create a positive financial trend among its network of UK retailers, Rotpunkt is pleased to report that its range of furniture offers more value per kitchen and higher sales commission. Although this rise is not reflected in the volume of cabinets produced last year, retailers are reportedly selling more Rotpunkt furniture and enjoying greater margins and planning options that go beyond the kitchen space. Emphasising the company’s core philosophy where the home represents the ‘centre of life’ for many, Rotpunkt design and make furniture for the kitchen, utility, laundry room, and walk-in dressing room to furnish the entire home and allow customers to compare or contrast with the cabinetry, worktops, handles, and integrated lighting.

Modernisation vs. Employee gains: The continued rise in materials and energy prices continued to challenge the company’s business operations in 2023. However, Rotpunkt was able to limit these amplified costs with moderate price adjustments so it could maintain its standing as a strong multi-million-pound company with positive earnings and a continued path to modernisation. With continued investment in a new Warehousing & Logistics building, and also in machinery, logistics, its vehicle fleet, the digitalisation of production and business processes, as well as social issues for the Rotpunkt workforce. In December 2023, the company is proud to employ a broad mix of 364 men and women at each site in Bünde and Preußisch Oldendorf, and maintain its important reputation as an employer of choice in the region.

Growth in France: Generating the majority of sales from countries in western Europe, Rotpunkt is pleased to report its export ratio remains at 80%. The Dutch market continues to be a strong supplier of Rotpunkt furniture with sales generating the same results as last year, and the same applies to the Scandinavian market, which is heavily supporting the brand within the contracts market. Interestingly, France emerges as the biggest growth area for Rotpunkt, demonstrating extremely high growth, and this is bolstered by new developments in Austria and Switzerland.

Commitment to the British Isles: From Great Britain to the Channel Islands, business across the British Isles has been faced with particularly high inflation rates, when compared to the rest of Europe and these increases have slowed the level of growth in the UK. In response, Rotpunkt will invest in its sales and development team to promote a greater level of engagement from new and existing customers in the British Isles. Given that the UK is regarded as one of the largest markets in Europe, it seems only logical to accelerate investment across these sales territories. For instance, in January 2024 Rotpunkt UK appointed John McWhinnie, an experienced sales representative to oversee customers in the north of the British Isles and create new sales opportunities across northern England and Scotland.

Trade show benefits: Part of the Küchenmeile, Hausmesse, the in-house exhibition held annually in September is the most important event of the year for Rotpunkt, and the company will continue to do its part to further strengthen global relations for both brand and industry following each Küchenmeile. Additionally, other trade shows across Europe such as kbb Birmingham (March 2024), Esprit Meubles in Paris (November 2024) and Kitchen Living Trends in Salzburg (May 2025) will allow Rotpunkt to present its products in a country-specific manner and be supported by local sales teams to create new contacts and strengthen ongoing partnerships.

2024 outlook: Collectively, the senior management team says, “The market is tough right now and in the short term, forecasts show this financial year won’t get any easier. However, we can still offer a positive outlook as 2024 has just begun and currently, there is a good build-up of orders, so we are confident over the coming months.” Sven Herden adds, “At the moment, it is important to maintain Rotpunkt’s good economic position, strengthen existing partnerships and take a closer look at choice suppliers and new business connections. However, risk assessments of this kind are not exclusive to Rotpunkt, and retailers are also looking closely at who they can rely on.”

Rotpunkt, award winning designer and leading manufacturer of climate friendly German Kitchen furniture introduce a new and timeless version of the classic Shaker-style door with the launch of Pavilo: a modern interpretation of the popular Shaker furniture design movement.

Designed with a modern cassette front that is rounded on the inside and out, Pavilo is available in all matt lacquer finishes including the new Just Grey colour option and bestselling Black, Carbon, Lava, Umbra and Daylight Grey. Beautiful and practical, this subtle door is designed to not only create a soft and harmonious look, but also reduce the number of surfaces to help minimise the accumulation of unwanted dirt, dust, grease and debris synonymous with kitchen living.

Matt Phillips, Head of UK Operations at Rotpunkt says, “Shaker-style interiors are ultra-versatile, as they effortlessly ride the line between traditional and contemporary ideas. Designed to evolve the traditional look of a timber in frame kitchen and recreate 18th century design elements so they can sit in the modern home, Pavilo gives a new dimension to the constantly evolving industrial-style kitchen, which is in keeping with today’s modern home and lifestyle.”

When combined with natural timber elements like the new Memory RI vertical door in New Forest Oak, Pavilo brings a fresh new energy to the hybrid kitchen space, which seemingly now is both classic and contemporary. Added to that, “Big ticket items like the kitchen are helping UK homeowners to reduce their environmental impact and live greener lifestyles. Pavilo answers the call for climate-friendly kitchen design, constructed from our Greenline BioBoard Gen2, which is a sustainable chipboard that consists of up to 90% recycled wood” adds Matt.

The Pavilo kitchen concept features the following NEW innovations by Rotpunkt:

Pavilo: Blending classic style with contemporary comfort, this new Shaker-style door is designed with a modern cassette front with rounded edges inside and out. Available in all 52 matt lacquer colours, Pavilo is the perfect foundation to get creative with the hardware too, just like the new 499 Black T-bar style knob handle shown.

Just Grey: This new colour is 1 of 14 shades of grey by Rotpunkt, and it works harmoniously with timber finishes like the pictured wood panelling, which is set within the island unit. Behind, the wet area is framed by two designed-in tall units with a mixture of open and closed storage and built-in appliances to create the ultimate compact cook zone.

Memory RI: Bringing the tactile warmth of timber into the kitchen, this new door is designed with a contemporary reeded structure with high-definition vertical grooves. Available in three oak finishes, matt black and a ready to paint option, the textured effect of Memory helps emphasise the generous overhead wall units to make the back wall feel spacious, despite its small footprint.

Smart-ready LED lighting: A modern and minimalist pendant light over the island brings illumination to this calming working space as it can be hung up to 1450mm from the ceiling. Available in 1200mm and 1500mm lengths to suit your style, now home chefs can enjoy the latest in smart-enabled kitchen lighting and control it using a digital assistant on a tablet or smartphone for the ultimate in hands-free living.

Climate friendly: All Rotpunkt furniture is designed and created under the company’s new ‘Together to zero’ climate strategy to reduce carbon emissions at every stage of manufacture. The Pavilo door is crafted from Greenline BioBoard Gen2, the sustainable, green and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chipboards, which consists of up to 90% recycled wood without sacrificing on quality. It is further enriched by the new Memory RI door, an FSC® Certified vertical groove door that carries the mark of responsible forestry.

Rotpunkt, award winning designer and leading manufacturer of climate friendly German Kitchen furniture create new possibilities for the modern home and lifestyle, with the launch of its new Utility Furniture specially designed for compact and complete laundry rooms.

Designed using its market leading Zerox furniture and available in all 26 colour options, Rotpunkt is able to meet the needs of today’s multi-purpose ground floor space with a new range of utility furniture complete with custom laundry cabinets, ergonomic housing for appliances, tall units, integrated waste systems and accessories such as integrated laundry baskets, adjustable shelves and angled storage options.

Matt Phillips, Head of UK Operations at Rotpunkt says, “Sophisticated designed-in storage solutions allow for minimal disruption to the ground floor, and the need for practical storage that is separate from the main kitchen is now welcoming dedicated furniture specifically for the utility room and laundry space. Presenting a new approach to household management, our new Utility Furniture is modular by design, which is helping to inspire new levels of creativity when considering the relocation of laundry appliances to previously redundant spaces like a hallway, box room and even first floor landing.”

The new Utility Furniture by Rotpunkt offers three tall unit designs in five available heights at 565-625mm depth, fully equipped with a range of interior elements and storage components. Options include:

1. Tall unit W450mm with laundry basket including 4, 5 or 6 adjustable shelves, a fixed shelf & one deep drawer with hanging laundry basket
2. Tall unit W600mm with shoe rack including none, 1 or 2 adjustable shelves, a fixed shelf and five angled baskets
3. Tall unit W600mm with 2 or 3 fixed shelves, which creates space for up to three laundry baskets [not included]

• Available heights: H1820mm, H1950mm, H2080mm, H2210mm and H2340mm

There is also a Built-under Drawer unit measuring H260 x W600 x D625mm, which is designed with 1 drawer and 1 extendable shelf and a 260mm high fascia.

Ergonomic laundry appliances: Pair your tall laundry units with a combi furniture solution for a washing machine and dryer, specially designed at an ergonomic working height for ease of use. This empowers a clear separation of tasks enhancing home hygiene and cleanliness and even better, the streamlined units bring you extra peace and quiet.

Climate friendly furniture:  In line with the Rotpunkt ‘Together to zero’ climate strategy to reduce carbon emissions, the furniture is made with sustainability in mind. It is crafted from Greenline BioBoard Gen2, the sustainable, green and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chipboards consisting of up to 90% recycled wood without sacrificing on quality.

Durable laminate surfaces: Bringing colour and tactility to the utility room in an innovative way, this furniture boasts high-performance laminate finishes which are robust and low maintenance. Finishes are fade-resistant and anti-fingerprint for easy cleaning, along with being highly scratch and chemical resistant which is ideal in a heavy-use work area exposed to different cleaning agents.

Hidden doors: It just got easier to introduce utility room furniture into an open-plan kitchen space with the new access door, which opens in reverse. Embracing the possibilities of reconfiguring the ground floor, the access door provides discreet entry through a continuous run of tall units that when used, reveals a hidden room which is self-contained from the rest of the kitchen living space. Sizes are 900mm wide with five available heights ranging from 1820 to 2340mm.

Rotpunkt award-winning designer and manufacturer of climate friendly German Kitchen furniture for the contemporary home, is delighted to report a strong upward trend in UK sales as the KBB sector bounced back at Europe’s biggest trade fair, KBB Birmingham after a bumpy ride for the British market.

Head of UK Operations at Rotpunkt, Matt Phillips says “We had a very positive experience at the show after two years dominated by market volatility in the wake of Brexit and the pandemic. Now the situation has completely changed course and we have full confidence that UK consumers are keen to invest in their homes once more. In fact, we anticipate significant sales in the residential and the contracts sector as we prepare to enter a new fiscal year with our expanding network of retailers, sales managers and new collaborative climate strategy, Together to Zero, in partnership with MyClimate.org. The UK is a key sales territory for Rotpunkt, second only to Holland, as the company’s main export market. This is definitely evident as the company enjoys its highest average value transactions in the UK, with many consumers appreciating our strategic positioning for growing upper mid-level kitchen design in the marketplace.”

Following four extremely busy days at KBB Birmingham, the Rotpunkt team had a great response to the exciting new launches showcased on its 130 sq.m stand. With four state-of-the-art fully interactive kitchen displays and two laundry storage solutions, KBB professionals could fully explore the iconic ‘power of possibilities’ in eco-luxe furniture by Rotpunkt.

Highlights included the UK launch of new Fenix colours, a new range of Memory RI door fronts, the latest contemporary finishes in Dark Grey Steel and Split-Line in split oak and the British debut of Blum’s Revego pocket door system. Interestingly, Rotpunkt was the first manufacturer to show this game-changing pocket door mechanism in the UK, integrating the solution with its new Fenix Green & Sherwood Flamed wood-effect full height kitchen doors. The unique one-touch door system for single and double door applications is impressive, not least thanks to its fully integrated technology and ease of integration into the kitchen layout or furniture units. The smart fixed-width cabinet solution can also be easily incorporated into plans featuring standard cabinets and is available pre-assembled. 

The Fenix Green super matt finish in combination with Sherwood Flamed, was shown on the popular Zerox furniture and benefits include an easy clean surface that is antibacterial, anti-fingerprint, high chemical resistance, high UV resistance with a premium super matt finish. Carcass is available in 78cm and extra-tall 91cm heights, with kitchen doors in standard and extra-tall 2.4m heights featuring luxury interior shelves with metal edging for a refined industrial style.

“We are back and ready to take sustainable kitchen living to the next level. It has been fantastic to see so many customers in person and welcome new dealers to the fold. We have already sent out full, comprehensive details of our new product offerings for 2022-3 and have advised countless retailers about what will be the best fit with their customer base and projected growth plans. Our new brochures include exclusive downloadable content so our UK specialists can use them across devices and locations for ultimate convenience.”

Managing Director Sales and Marketing at Rotpunkt, Sven Herden says “We have flexibly adapted to changing circumstances, including the new trading landscape after Brexit and fine-tuning our operations to ensure a fully cohesive supply chain and supportive dealer network throughout the pandemic. In addition, the field sales team in the UK has continued to grow so that we are actively expanding brand awareness and outlining our point of difference – sustainability, transparency and contemporary ergonomic design for a better future.” 

Market confidence is in resurgence as the property season begins and Covid restrictions are all but over. Around 90% of UK retailers have not been able to meet their customers in person over the last two years as the Government focused on protecting public health with a combination of strict lockdowns, including travel restrictions. Naturally, this impacted sales as not everything can be discussed via online channels alone and in response, the company has invested a great deal of time and substantial revenue on additional costs like administration and logistics. This manifested due to Britain’s decision to leave the EU and now, the team benefits from new systems that directly support retailers and end-users, helping them to navigate through unprecedented times. “With an ever-growing network, we are keen to upskill our UK brand partners, especially as we have significantly grown our presence in this territory despite the pandemic. Our UK leadership team stands ready to provide even more dedicated business support as demand for sustainable, modular furniture solutions continues to rise” adds Sven.
