What C + P does

C + P Möbelsysteme GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of modular steel furniture and storage solutions, founded in 1925 and headquartered in Breidenbach, Germany. The company designs and produces lockers, cabinets, tool and heavy-duty storage systems, wardrobe and bench combinations, and specialized cabinets such as battery-charging cabinets (Akku-Ladeschränke) and phone-storage units (Handy-Garage), using in-house steel forming, powder-coating via a proprietary immersion-painting process (Tauchlackverfahren), and configurable electronic locking systems including the patented Ergo-Lock 3-bolt mechanism, RFID-based BURG Flexo Q.RFID, and PIN-code locks. Its product portfolio is organized into named series (Evolo PLUS, Classic PLUS, Acurado, Solid, Basis, SmartLocker) with a 10-year warranty on standard steel products and a 3-year warranty on Basis-line items, supported by a configurator-driven online catalog and an Express Program for standardized rapid-delivery SKUs.

C + P sells predominantly B2B through its own e-commerce storefront (cp.de) with a quote-based configurator, complemented by a German and international dealer network accessed via an online dealer locator (Händlersuche), with localized sites for France, Poland, the Netherlands, and English-speaking markets. Pricing is per unit (EUR 252-2,759 ex-VAT across representative SKUs), and delivery is executed by an in-house logistics fleet with packaging-free shipping. The company maintains four managing directors (Viktor Erdlei, Tomas Kirschenfauth, Holger Plenge, Mathias Volk) and operates as a private German Kommanditgesellschaft structured around a general-partner entity, C + P Verwaltungs GmbH.

The customer base spans six primary verticals — Industrial/Trades, Corporate Offices, Education, Wellness/Fitness/Leisure, Fire/Rescue, and Healthcare — with named reference projects including Therme Bukarest, UCLA Wasserman Football Center, Sparkasse München, and Schneider Optik. Sustainability and compliance credentials (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EcoVadis 2024, TÜV Thüringen GS certification) are used to support institutional and public-sector procurement, and the firm operates with 251-500 employees and no disclosed external investors.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Steelcase: Global office furniture incumbent with a strong New Work and workplace-storage portfolio. Comparable to C+P's office and corporate workspace segment (Büroschränke, SmartLocker) but operates at much greater scale with a software/services ecosystem.
• MillerKnoll (Herman Miller): Global office and contract furniture platform. Comparable to C+P in modern workplace and New Work categories but at a vastly larger scale and with a stronger digital workplace services offering.
• SSI Schäfer: Large German global incumbent in intralogistics, warehouse storage, shelving, and locker systems. Comparable to C+P in industrial/warehouse storage but operates at significantly larger scale and across the full logistics value chain.
• Mauser Packaging Solutions: Industrial packaging and storage solutions provider with metal container and cabinet products. Adjacent comparable to C+P in industrial steel storage and in serving German Mittelstand industrial customers, though focused more on packaging than furniture.

Direct peers

• Bott GmbH & Co. KG: German manufacturer of vehicle equipment, workshop storage, tool cabinets, and industrial workstations. Closely comparable to C+P's industrial/Trades segment (Werkzeugschränke, Schwerlastschränke, Lagerschränke) and competes head-on in the German Mittelstand B2B market.

• Lista AG: Swiss manufacturer of steel storage systems, lockers, tool cabinets, and workshop furniture. Highly comparable to C+P in product mix (heavy-duty cabinets, modular drawer systems, lockers) and B2B industrial/workshop customer base, and similarly emphasizes 'Made in Europe' manufacturing.
• Hänel GmbH & Co. KG: German specialist in industrial storage and rotary/paternoster lift systems for warehouses and parts storage. Comparable to C+P in heavy-duty steel storage for industrial customers, though Hänel is more focused on automated vertical storage systems.

Emerging players

• HÅG / Flokk (office seating and storage): European office furniture group including storage and workplace solutions brands. Comparable to C+P in office and workplace storage but positioned primarily as a seating-led player with storage as an extension category.
