Junker

What Junker does

Junker (legal name: Junker – Gardinen und mehr) is a custom textile manufacturing and retail business founded in 1993 by Monika Junker in Göttingen, Germany. The company operates as a sole proprietorship registered with the Handwerkskammer Hildesheim, producing made-to-measure curtains and drapes, roller shades and panel curtains, pleated and DUETTE honeycomb shades, blackout roller shades, custom carpets with color-matched serging, table linens, cushion covers, slipcovers for sofas and chairs, custom benches, and curtain rods and tracks. Manufacturing is performed in-house using premium fabrics sourced from a network of more than 14 supplier brands including Nya Nordiska, Casamance, JAB Anstoetz Group, ROMA, Villa Nova, Büscher, and Kadeco.

The company serves three primary customer segments: private residential customers in the Göttingen region seeking custom-fitted window treatments and room furnishings; architects and interior designers requiring skilled manufacturing partners for project work; and local furniture retailers such as Einrichtungshaus Günther, which displays select fabric samples in its showrooms. Distribution is exclusively through a single physical showroom at Hugo-Junkers-Straße 1, Göttingen, with no e-commerce channel. Products are priced on a quote basis determined by measurements, fabric selection, and customization specifications, with no standard price list published.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, centered on in-person expert consultation, custom manufacturing, and installation services. Marketing occurs through showroom foot traffic, word-of-mouth referrals, and collaborative partnerships with architects, designers, and furniture stores. Operating hours are Tuesday through Friday 10:00–17:00 and Saturday 10:00–13:00, with flexible appointment-based consultations outside regular hours. The business employs between 11 and 50 people and is privately held with no external investors or parent company.

• Plissee-Profi (Plissee.de): Online-first German specialist in custom pleated shades, honeycomb shades (including DUETTE), and plissé products — directly overlapping with Junker's Plissees & Sonnenschutz line but serving customers through a configurator/e-commerce model nationwide.
• Joka Werk GmbH & Co. KG: German manufacturer of custom curtains, roller blinds, pleated shades, vertical blinds, and related interior sun-protection products; comparable to Junker as a vertically integrated custom-textile specialist serving both retail and trade customers.

Broad incumbents

• Westwing Group: European e-commerce home and living retailer offering curated furniture, curtains, rugs, and decor; comparable to Junker in product categories but competing primarily through online discovery and flash-sale mechanics rather than custom craft.
• Home24 SE: Large German/European online retailer of furniture and home furnishings including curtains, rugs, and accessories; competes with Junker for the same residential customers but operates at national scale via e-commerce rather than custom showroom service.
• butlers GmbH & Co. KG: German home accessories and lifestyle retailer with stores across Germany offering decorative items, textiles, and small furniture; overlaps with Junker's accessories, cushions, and table textiles categories but as a chain rather than a custom craft specialist.

Others
