Franz Nüsing GmbH & Co. KG

What Franz Nüsing GmbH & Co. KG does

Franz Nüsing GmbH & Co. KG is a Münster, Germany-based manufacturer of movable partition wall technology, founded on 10 June 1878 by master carpenter Franz Nüsing as the Westphalian Billiards and Blinds Factory. The company transitioned from billiard tables to roller shutters before specializing in movable walls, glass walls, and folding partitions from the 1920s onward, and by the 1960s had become the leading German folding-door manufacturer with international reach. Today it produces nine branded product lines — Premium Greenline, Premium EASYmatic, Premium Glass, Premium Classic, Premium Acoustic, Premium Protect, Visioline, Folding Wall Flexi, and Faltina-plan — engineered for flexible room separation with sound reduction up to 57–59 dB, 30-minute fire resistance in manual and semi-automatic modes, and certified low-emission performance. Core technical components include the proprietary microprocessor-controlled EASYmatic semi-automatic system, in-house-produced micro-perforation acoustic panels achieving alpha w values up to 0.55, and BIM-ready objects for Revit and ArchiCAD that integrate products into the architect specification workflow.

The company operates as a family-owned limited partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) with approximately 98 employees (53 production, 40 commercial, 5 trainees), headquartered at Borkstraße 5 in Münster alongside an engineering/R&D facility and a showroom. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of custom-engineered movable wall systems tailored to individual architectural specifications, supplemented by project consultation, planning, and tender-text preparation services. Sales in Germany are executed by technically knowledgeable trade representatives supported by field service from planning through measurement to assembly; international sales in Europe and beyond are conducted through selected contract partners, with products delivered worldwide.

Certifications and compliance are central to the competitive position: ISO 9001:2015, TÜV Baumuster (GS mark), Eco-Institute Label (ID 0915-33376-001), The Blue Angel environmental label, and compliance with DGNB, LEED, and BREEAM building certification criteria. The wholly-owned subsidiary Rollladen Nüsing GmbH, legally independent since 1979, operates separately in sun-protection products (awnings, blinds, roller shutters), allowing the parent to concentrate on movable wall technology while retaining a related construction-products business.
