What PALMBERG Büroeinrichtungen + Service does

PALMBERG Büroeinrichtungen + Service GmbH is a privately held, family-owned German manufacturer of office furniture and workspace solutions, headquartered in Schönberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with a second production facility in Rehna specializing in acoustic elements and a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary (PALMBERG (Schweiz) AG) operating a showroom in Beringen. The company employs 606 people across its three German production sites and was founded in 1990 around the INTRO-TEC desk system; leadership has transitioned to Nicole Eggert and Julianne Utz-Preußing, daughters of the original founders. Its portfolio spans 32 product series across 10 categories — desks, conference systems, storage, acoustic furniture, lounge furniture, reception desks, phone booths, office kitchens, mobile furniture, and accessories — plus the SILENCIO phone booth, the CUCINA kitchen line, and themed solutions such as WORK-CAFÉ, AKUSTIK, and ERGONOMIE.

Production combines laser cutting, digital nesting that reduces residual material up to 20%, 100% green electricity, an owned EURO 6 truck fleet, and PEFC-certified wood inputs yielding 95%+ recyclability. Complementary digital tools include a furniture configurator, an acoustic configurator aligned to DIN 18041, and CAD/OFML planning models for architects. Certifications include ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001, BIFMA LEVEL 3, Blauer Engel, GS mark, Möbel Made in Germany, Quality Office, Möbel Zirkulär Nachhaltig, and an audited Scope 1-3 CO2 footprint certified by Fokus Zukunft.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of office furniture and bundled professional services (in-house project planning, delivery via own fleet, and assembly) sold exclusively through a network of 600+ specialized trade dealers (Fachhandelspartner) in Germany, the Benelux, and Switzerland; pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. Eleven showrooms (nine in Germany, one in the Netherlands, one in Switzerland) function as demand-generation and architectural-experience hubs, supported by the inperspective content platform (magazine, podcast, newsletter). End customers are diversified across large enterprises, SMEs, and public institutions in banking, retail, tourism, automotive, healthcare, insurance, sports, and food sectors.
