About KMG Zumbrock GmbH

KMG Zumbrock GmbH is a purchasing association founded in 2000 by Hans-Ulrich Zumbrock for kitchen studios, kitchen retailers, and joinery and carpentry businesses. Its goal is to give small and medium-sized enterprises market power vis-à-vis large retail chains by pooling purchasing strength. Every year, the association negotiates purchasing terms and bonus agreements with suppliers of fitted kitchens, electrical appliances, sinks and fittings, extractor hoods, kitchen accessories, worktops, and bathroom and seating furniture, and makes these terms transparently available in the association's own intranet. In addition to purchasing, the offering includes cooperative marketing, online and offline training, central invoice settlement, digital tools such as the KMG ProduktNavi and the KMG Blockverrechner, down payment models, extended warranty and financing, as well as services ranging from legal advice and installation and surveying to software and exhibition design. A key focus is supporting the establishment of new kitchen studios and trade businesses. The company is headquartered in Georgenthal in Thuringia; the association has more than 350 members and is a member of the ZGV Furniture Group.
