MHK announces new supplier partnership with Beckermann Küchen

MHK UK has announced the addition of Beckermann Küchen to its growing roster of over 75 brands across kitchen and bathroom furniture, appliances, components as well as outdoor kitchens and audio-visual technology for the home. Each of these suppliers are accessible under the same favourable buying terms, levelling the field for independent retailers. Together, the manufacturer and buying group will bring a highly customisable and flexible furniture offering to MHK’s UK members, helping them to organically grow design opportunities outside of the kitchen space.

David Morris, sales director for MHK UK, said: “We are delighted to welcome Beckermann to MHK. One of the beautiful things about their collections is that they can be used across almost every room in the home – kitchens, bathrooms, offices and living spaces – offering designers and showrooms a solution that can be seamlessly integrated into an entire house project. This in turn has multiple benefits for the showroom as well as the end customer – not least value for money as a project is scaled up. Beckermann’s quality is also outstanding and showcases German and European design at its best. Favourable payment terms through MHK’s central payment system is just the cherry on the cake for our members who opt to specify their furniture in projects.”

Founded in 1896, Beckermann Küchen is a 'mid-sized' heritage KBB furniture company employing over 200 members of staff at its HQ in Germany. Export makes up 65% of the business thanks to its position as a well-established brand synonymous with German quality in multiple European markets and the US.

“In addition to its extremely high manufacturing standards, Beckermann is also a business that values a personal approach to its partners which truly aligns with the MHK ethos of giving power to its people and members,” added Morris. “As a mid-level price brand, their clever 'uni colour' concept means designers can offer a seamless look across multiple rooms as a high-end design statements at an affordable price point. This offers excellent opportunity to kitchen businesses to widen their scope on a project.”

Marcus von der Heide, export sales manager for Beckermann Küchen, said: “Partnering with MHK is an important and strategic step in growing our business in the UK. Historically seen as a fragmented market, MHK has sought to unify independent business and empower them to have the same access to suppliers as larger corporations. We’re proud to support and see this as a completely mutual opportunity for industry suppliers and MHK’s stakeholders. What’s more, as we are already highly experienced in exporting kitchens, we are able to offer scale, short lead times and excellent customer service to MHK’s members.”
