Industry expertise in factory equipment

Strong concepts with a unique import service

The business of business furnishings is diverse and offers a lot of high-margin potential, as it requires a lot of advice. Together with our 300 or so leading contract suppliers, our strong stock range of 3,400 items at top conditions and the clever marketing concepts developed with our members, we leverage this potential.

Imported goods are becoming increasingly important in the factory equipment product area. To support our members, the competent E/D/E factory equipment team therefore has employees who deal exclusively with technical advice, assembly and maintenance of imported goods.
