German kitchens still hold the top spot

For more than 30 years German kitchens have been the prime choice of the discerning consumer and the commercially proactive house builder. Has anything changed?

The choice of European products has increased no end over recent years, but German kitchens still hold the top spot amongst kitchen specialists.

In essence, this is in much the same way as people aspire to driving a German car – once you’ve had one there is no way you want to go back, with build quality, engineering, reliability and status.

There is the added knowledge that there has been no compromises in the materials used to produce the finished product and continued investment to integrate the latest innovations, from “plinth tension clips” to “electrically controlled drawer opening and closing”.

German manufacturers identify the importance of maximising ergonomics and storage management. The German kitchen furniture industry showcase their new product ranges and innovations at the annual “Home Show” extravaganza, held every year in September.

Their doors open (after a sixweek revamp in most cases) to reveal to the world the latest that the kitchen industry has to offer – and everyone serious about their business makes sure they are in Germany in September!

Price has been a contention for many, with the assumption that a German kitchen will be very expensive. The discerning consumer wants friends to think this, as the house builder wants prospective clients to think they have built homes to a high standard.

However, German kitchens today are amongst the most competitive in the market, giving more access to the Best of German.
