About ASSMANN UK

ASSMANN is one of the leading office furniture manufacturers in Europe. As a medium-sized family business, now in its third generation, we believe that our favourable market position is down to our clear strategic direction in the system furniture sector. ASSMANN BÜROMÖBEL GMBH & CO. KG began in 1939 when Heinrich Ahsmann took over the village carpenter’s workshop. By 1967 he had built it up into a craftsman's business with 15 members of staff. When Dieter Ahsmann joined the company as Managing Director and the premises were moved to their current location, Assmann started to grow into an industrial enterprise. By 1969, the company had achieved a turnover of DEM 1 million for the first time in its history. Ten years later, the introduction of a new range of desks led to unprecedented expansion, which by 1989 had resulted in the company achieving a record high by surpassing the one hundred million mark. Since 1999, Dirk Aßmann has been taking the family-run business into its third generation. A clear strategic direction, well masterminded investment in the Melle premises and a continual improvement process based on the Kaizen method that is firmly entrenched in the ASSMANN mentality have led to the further strengthening of the company’s market position. Today, ASSMANN employs over 400 people and in 2021 achieved a turnover of EUR 140 million. In the last ten years Assmann has grown to become a global business, with flagship showrooms in Melle and London reaching an international network that extends to the furthest corners of the world. Since signing its first overseas contract, the business now has offices in Russia, Switzerland, Netherlands, London & United Arab Emirates.
