Georg Nolte and his business partner together founded their own company with an initial capital of just 20,000 Marks
One of Georg’s customers filed for bankruptcy and shut down his furniture factory, George seized the opportunity and acquired it and started producing bedroom furniture.
Georg’s son Konrad proves to be a visionary and brings fresh new ideas on board. He pioneers assembly-lines for furniture between 1947-48 and alters the global furniture industry once and for all.
The first mass-produced two-door wardrobes left the factory. Germersheim, the location of Nolte’s fourth furniture factory, puts Nolte in the forefront of the German furniture industry.
Proved to be a busy year for Nolte. Every day, 250-bedroom suites roll off the production line, ready for transportation. “A piece of furniture must not remain static, but it has to keep on moving forward until it reaches the consumer” – Konrad Nolte.
Nolte finally arrived in India and opened its flagship store – the first Nolte Home Studio, in Bangalore. Nolte also wins the Red Dot Design Award.
The company’s commitment to sustainable forest management earns it the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Special kitchen range was also founded for projects at this time.
Turned out to be an important year when Nolte was voted as Germany’s most popular kitchen.
Nolte's very first partnership was with World On A Plate, one of the biggest international food festivals.
June 2021 marks Nolte’s 15th anniversary in India.
Today there are more than 10,000 families, across 18 cities, where Nolte is welcomed home.
Nolte’s remarkable journey has seen many milestones and today, its luxury kitchens are found all over the world.
