About Kesseböhmer
Kesseböhmer Holding KG is an owner-managed family company headquartered in Bad Essen and has been developing and manufacturing storage and pull-out systems as well as hinge solutions for kitchens, living areas and retail shopfitting since 1954. At its core, the company processes wire, flat strip and tubes into components such as pull-outs, tray systems, wire baskets, flap hinges and shelving systems (tRACK, YouK), and refines them in its own electroplating and powder coating facilities. In addition to kitchen fittings, the group serves the shopfitting business with production sites in Bohmte, Lübeck, Herrnhut and Quedlinburg, as well as the automotive and ergonomics business fields. Since 2016, Holzwerk rockenhausen, founded in 1906, has been part of the group, producing custom-made solid-wood drawer inserts in woods such as American oak and European ash as well as the in-house developed fibre composite material OrganiQ. Product development takes place in-house with prototyping and configurators, complemented by CAD data services for customers and partners.
