About bilges möbel
bilges möbel is a joinery with a planning office in Bielefeld, in the heart of the East Westphalia furniture-making region. The company manufactures custom furniture and interior fittings for private and commercial customers, including hallways units, wardrobes, reception counters, kitchens and sideboards. In the commercial sector, it produces exhibition and trade fair furniture, for example for Sonae Arauco, including technical drawings and approval drawings. In addition, bilges möbel works as a supplier to industry and the trades, producing cut-to-size panels and milled parts made of wood and wood-based materials – from simple cut-to-size panels to complex milled free-form parts such as 3D letters and round components. Materials processed include, among others, particleboard, MDF, multiplex, plywood, screen-printing panels, HPL panels, veneered panels, OSB, plastic panels, solid wood and three-layer panels. On approximately 1,600 m² of production space, which the company shares with the joinery Niehaus, three CNC milling machines, a horizontal beam saw (Homag), an edge banding machine (IMA) and other machines are available. The owner is master carpenter Nicolai Bilges, a graduate of wood technology (Bachelor of Engineering).
