Artego Kitchens

What Artego Kitchens does

Artego Kitchens (legal entity artego K\u00fcchen GmbH & Co. KG) is a German manufacturer of fitted kitchen systems headquartered in Bad Oeynhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, operating a single production facility and a 2,000 m\u00b2 exhibition center in Kirchlengern. The company employs approximately 150 people and is privately held under a GmbH & Co. KG partnership structure with artego K\u00fcchen Beteiligungs GmbH as the personally liable general partner; Jens Oliver Gl\u00e4sker serves as Managing Director.

The product portfolio is organized around five modular kitchen lines (Q3 XL, Q3, Q2 XL, Q2, Q1) differentiated by cabinet height (715mm, 780mm, 845mm) and ergonomic configurations, complemented by 26 front designs, worktops in multiple materials, carcase decors, handles, handle systems, glass variants, LED lighting, utility room solutions, and country house accessories. Technical differentiation rests on the integration of premium BLUM hardware (TANDEMBOX, CLIP TOP BLUMOTION, SERVO-DRIVE, TIP-ON) and Kesseb\u00f6hmer storage systems (LeMans, DISPENSA), combined with computer-controlled precision manufacturing at the Bad Oeynhausen facility. The company holds four quality and sustainability certifications: Golden M (DGM), M\u00f6bel Made in Germany, PEFC, and RAL G\u00fctezeichen M\u00f6bel, alongside DGM Klimapakt membership.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining an independent kitchen dealer network across Germany with direct-to-consumer sales via the Kirchlengern exhibition center and digital catalog downloads; pricing is quote-based per customized kitchen with a 500 EUR minimum net order, and a multilingual website signals intent to serve France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom in addition to the German domestic market. Distribution is regional rather than global, and the company is part of the K\u00fcchenmeile A30 industry cluster of kitchen manufacturers along the A30 highway.
