OKA Büromöbel GmbH & Co. KG

What OKA Büromöbel GmbH & Co. KG does

OKA Büromöbel GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German office furniture manufacturer founded in 1858 by the Kasper family and headquartered in Ebersbach-Neugersdorf, Saxony. The company designs, produces, and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of desks, storage systems, modular screens and acoustic solutions, seating, reception furniture, and accessories for corporate offices, with manufacturing consolidated at the Neugersdorf plant using laser edge cutting and modern final assembly lines introduced in 2013 and 2018 respectively. Its product platform spans established lines such as OKA Jump 2.0 height-adjustable desks, OKA ModulLine/BaseLine storage, OKA SpaceLine/SpaceAbsorber acoustic systems, OKA Pods room-in-room solutions, and newer offerings including OKA HomeLine for home office and OKA Places/OKA-You design and configuration frameworks, supplemented by proprietary items such as the OKA 3D-Chair built on a six-layer 3D veneer process.

OKA generates revenue through a one-time-sale model based on quote-based, customized office furniture projects priced per configuration rather than published list prices. It serves four primary customer segments: enterprise and corporate offices, architects/planners/specialized dealers, banks and public institutions, and (via OKA HomeLine) home office and private individuals. Go-to-market combines a password-protected Partnernet dealer network across Germany and neighboring countries, four owned showroom/exhibition centers (Neugersdorf, Genshagen/Berlin-Brandenburg, Bad Marienberg, Bochum), direct regional sales consultants handling large enterprise projects (e.g., 880-workplace deployments for Hamburg Süd), and an architect/planner portal integrated with pcon-solutions' 2D/3D configurator. Reference customers span logistics, financial services, publishing, manufacturing, IT services, and public-sector projects, indicating diversified enterprise exposure rather than single-account dependency. Leadership is family-controlled under Managing Partner Sebastian Kasper, with Marketing and Sales leadership transitioned to Jörg Genselein in March 2022.
