Success for over 50 years

Schmidt Kitchens are the leading kitchen retail Brand in Europe with a turnover of over €405 Million and employed more than 1400 employees. We design, produce and distribute innovative products and services that play a major part in home improvement in the kitchen, bathroom and interior solution.

Since 1989 we have been developing an exclusive showroom concept and now have more than 700 showrooms spread around 25 countries.

1 new showroom every week worldwide

Having been successful in France, Germany, Italy and Spain where we have exclusive showrooms, our strategy is now to further develop in the UK.

Our development strategy is to reach 100 showrooms in UK in 2020.
