Highest quality for kitchens, bathrooms and living furniture

"Furniture made in Germany"

Since August 1, 2020 end consumers have discovered a new label on the market, which gives them information about furniture
quality: “Furniture Made in Germany” is the geographical origin mark in accordance with RAL-RG 0191, which labels German-made furniture that meets verifiable, strictly defined criteria. This certificate requires proof that the design, assembly and quality testing of the furniture takes place in Germany. As often before, nobilia is once again among the first kitchen furniture manufacturers to be distinguished with the new “Made in Germany” label.

“Deutschland Test” award for product quality

Once again, nobilia sets new standards for the kitchen industry and has received yet another first place for the BEST PRODUCT QUALITY. This rating was awarded based on an extensive study conducted by ServiceValue and DEUTSCHLAND TEST. nobilia achieved first place in the kitchen furniture category, based on 200,000 consumer reviews for 1,426 companies in different product segments. The great function and long life of nobilia kitchens impressed the survey participants, allowing nobilia to win the coveted award.

 

Climate agreement of the furniture industry

We put the focus on sustainability at nobilia. The same goes for the subject of greenhouse gas emissions. Here, it is of primary importance to face the responsibility – alongside other manufacturers – that this generation has toward future generations and the environment. In 2016 the DGM (German quality control association) initiated the ”Climate Agreement for the Furniture Industry” and nobilia is an established member. In order for the CO2 footprint to gradually be reduced and ideally neutralised, it is important to nobilia to take a pioneering role in making this topic public and raising awareness.

GOGREEN certificate

The entire mail and package dispatch is taken care of by the CO2 neutral GOGREEN services of the German postal service and DHL. With this, nobilia offsets the CO2 emissions created during transport. The offset is certified through an independent certification company (Societé Général de Surveillance, SGS) according to ISO 14064.

EcoVadis

nobilia had a sustainability assessment conducted by international rating agency EcoVadis and was immediately awarded a bronze medal. This award recognises comprehensive efforts in support of the environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. Our policies, actions and published reports were all considered in the assessment.

EKO-PUNKT

In Germany, we participate in the EKO-PUNKT take-back and recycling system. This ensures that our packaging is collected, recorded and recycled in accordance with the German Packaging Act.

Golden M

The DGM Deutsche Gütegemeinschaft Möbel - (German furniture quality seal) have tested nobilia in accordance with RAL-GZ 430. Following this test, nobilia was awarded the RAL quality seal, the "Golden M". This ensures that each kitchen leaving the plant meets today’s expectations and quality requirements for a long life, stability and health and environmental aspects.

This mark of the German Federal Environmental Agency promotes the concerns of environmental and health protection as well as consumer protection. The products and services which are distinguished are those –– when viewed holistically – which are particularly environmentally friendly and at the same time meet the high standards for occupational health and safety as well as usability.

PEFC /04-31-1281

Since July 2009 nobilia is the first ever kitchen manufacturer certified in accordance with PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes). In this way, nobilia documents its dedication to an environment worth living in as well as responsibility in handling the valuable raw material wood. Since the derived timber products processed all come from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources. Forest certification provides the guarantee that the wood products that consumers purchase are not coming from questionable sources nor from overexploitation, but come from managed semi-natural forests.

By applying for PEFC certification, nobilia kitchens demonstrates to the customer a sense of responsibility for our environment.
