Company Profile of Finkeldei Upholstered Furniture Manufacture
Finkeldei manufactures exclusive upholstered furniture that sets new quality and design standards. With this approach the company, since its founding in 1958, has grown to become one of Germany's top manufacturers in the upholstered furniture segment. Some 70 qualified employees in the Westphalian town of Nieheim now produce upholstered furniture for demanding customers in various countries of the world.
The range of Finkeldei products meanwhile extends to hundreds of different upholstered furniture models ranging from the classic luxurious to the classic modern. Alongside exclusive settees, armchairs and beds, the company offers matching accessories such as tables, lamps and carpets.
Werner Knoche, Managing Director of Finkeldei, put his finger on the company's philosophy: "We manufacture premium upholstered furniture for people who reject compromise when it comes to the design of their living environment. As regards sitting comfort, the bests is for us only just good enough. We don't attempt to pursue standards that others set themselves - we want to be those standards. Our special strength: we can adapt ourselves flexibly to individual customer requirements. Our customers, for example, have some 7,000 materials to choose from, supplied by the world's most reputable weavers and fabric wholesalers."
Upholstered furniture made by Finkeldei is not only to be found in the display rooms of exclusive specialist retailers, however. The sitting comfort associated with Finkeldei is also prized by businessmen involved in luxury environmental design: in many hotels, cruise liners and yachts there is many a person to be found enjoying Finkeldei comfort. The company is now pursuing an increasingly international strategy: With bases in the Gulf states and in Eastern Europe, new markets are being systematically opened.
Even the manufacturing processes used at Finkeldei are geared to producing top quality: Apart from its surface treatment, sewing and upholstering facilities, the company also has its own frame-manufacturing section. A certified quality management system (in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001) ensures the globally recognized quality of its upholstered furniture. Each and every order placed with Finkeldei is accompanied by an upholstery professional, from A to Z. Yet although Finkeldei is equipped with the most modern manufacturing technology, it remains the high proportion of handwork and handicraft work that makes Finkeldei upholstered furniture so unique.
The materials used in the production processes are, of course, long-lasting, protective of human resources and ecologically unobjectionable. The certified environment management system (in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001) further underlines the company's efforts to manufacture its furniture products in harmony with mankind and the environment.
