history
In 1966 Otto Schüller took over his father's carpenter's workshop and founded Schüller Möbelwerk KG. In the early years, the focus was on the production of kitchen buffets and individual pieces of furniture. At that time the company had 25 employees. In the mid-1970s, the first individually plannable fitted kitchen collection was created. After the first high-bay warehouse was built in 1984, new production halls and an administration building followed in 1996. In 1998 the number of employees had grown to over 600. In 2000 the | s | a | c. (Schüller Exhibition Center) opened on the company premises in Herrieden. On 1400 m² it serves both as an exhibition and for training purposes. In addition to the production of schüller.C kitchens, which are manufactured for the middle of the market, the premium brand next125 was introduced in 2001, which targets the middle and upper market segment. In 2003 Otto Schüller passed on to the next generation: Markus Schüller, Max Heller and Manfred Niederauer took over management of the company. In 2006 the house4kitchen trade fair center opened in Löhne, East Westphalia. The subsidiary Systemo was founded in 2010. In the following ten years there was constant expansion of administration buildings and production. The number of employees has also grown significantly and was 1,838 in 2019. The company is now one of the five largest kitchen manufacturers in Germany.

next125
Next125 was launched in 2001. The kitchens are marketed as an independent international premium brand and are located in the middle and upper market segments. A special feature is the 125 mm grid, which was also the inspiration behind the name. Based on this dimension, two carcase heights were developed that are based on the ergonomics of today's kitchen users: 75.0 cm and 87.5 cm. In combination with different base heights and worktop thicknesses, flexible planning is possible. The kitchens are inspired by the ideals of the Bauhaus and have been awarded design prizes. The range also includes living elements such as sideboards, tables and benches, showcases and trolleys.
