German Excellence
Crafted for India

Foundation - nobilia’s success story began in 1945 in Avenwedde, when Johann and Willy Stickling founded a joinery. They produced sewing cabinets and small pieces of furniture in a rented hall, and the company grew to seven employees in its mai.den year. The foundation for a future of precise, immaculate craftsmanship and innovation was laid by Johann and Willy Stickling OHG.

Specialisation in Fitted Kitchens - Just after its silver jubilee, the company specialises in fitted kitchens and is named nobilia-Werke J. Stickling KG, and the younger son, Werner Stickling, has now joined the company.

Change of Generation - On the occasion of the company’s silver jubilee, the current plant I was built on a 51,000-square-metre site in Verl-Surenheide, with Heinz and Werner Stickling taking over the management.

First In-house Exhibition - An in-house exhibition is held on company premises for the first time, where the products were shown to specialised dealers in a 2,000 square metre exhibition space. That tradition is still practised by nobilia today.

Making a Home - The old factory in Avenwedde closes its doors, and the entire kitchen furniture production moves to Verl-Surenheide.

Producing Records - Production gets record-breaking at nobilia with 1,000 kitchens leaving the facility daily.

Bigger Space, More Kitchens - Plant II goes into operation in Verl-Kaunitz, creating 50,000 square metres of production space and an additional office space for the administration building in Verl-Surenheide is expanded by 2,400 square metres.

Test Laboratory Opened - With the 2009 in-house exhibition, the opening of the test laboratory takes place, which remains a unique addition in the kitchen furniture industry. All the new developments are tested extensively in that space of 230 square metres. Only the furniture that passes the qualification criteria in the nobilia labs makes it to the new collection.

Beyond Kitchens - nobilia adds holistic living concepts and debuts the bathroom range. The production volume also increases to 3,300 kitchens per day.

Believing in Growth - Plant III in Gutersloh and Plant V in Saarlouis initiate operations, increasing nobilia’s German production sites to four.

Connections Between Factories - The company opens its own bridge between Plant I and III over the A2. Easing the transportation of materials and models.

Excellence in Fiitings - nobilia introduced the new nBox drawer system and sets new standards in Kitchen innovations. By the end of the year, extensive renovation will begin at the factories. Setting the new standards in the era of modernisation.

Elevated 2025 Designs - The year 2025 marked a major milestone with Nobilia partnering with the Adventz Group to create Nobilia India Pvt. Ltd. This joint venture expanded the brand’s legacy into India with a robust foundation for long-term innovation and market leadership.
