What is it about?

This privacy statement complies with the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with disproportionate effort) establish a link to your person, e.g. through anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data are deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further retention of the data. We will inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.

Who gets my data?

We only disclose your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis in the individual case (e.g. consent or safeguarding legitimate interests). In addition, we disclose personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO, they may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more information on the use of processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations.

  • •  Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and these have been processed by us with the aid of automated procedures.

PHILOSOPHY

 

KÜHLA-Philosophy - For us Shop fitting means Team Fitting

For us Shop fitting means Team Fitting

Sustainable quality, efficiency, customer satisfaction – to theses aims we all pull together. Flat hierarchies and short communication channels are our recipe for a constructive, trust-based relationship. As a training company we are committed to the promotion of young talents and offer a lot of long-term job prospects.

 

KÜHLA-Philosophy - For us Shop fitting means Quality fitting

For us Shop fitting means Quality fitting

The high quality implementation and the long-life durability of all materials that we use is our concern. Therefore we trust in our own factory production, in our experienced team and in the cooperation with reliable suppliers. Each object that leaves our company we give enclosed extensive information for the proper operation, maintenance and care.

 

KÜHLA-Pholosophy - We implement visions in space Language

We implement visions in space Language

We are specialists of the "quantity-one manufacturing" to ensure the best implementation of the requirements of our customers and partners. Every customer wishes we face individually and holistically. We realize counters and shop fittings and objects that give each store a distinctive design. For best solutions and maximum functionality we are also highly active in the manufacturing of cooling counters and items and in the processing of stainless steel and solid surface materials next to our experience in wood processing and shop fitting.

 

KÜHLA-Philosophy - We take care for the Environment & the Climate

We take care for the Environment & the Climate

As a wood processor and a shop fitter we feel responsive for protecting the environment. For us this means we pay attention to the economical use of resources. We use modern high-performance and environmentally friendly refrigerants for all our cooling items and we foam CFC-free. Our operating sites and our offices we heat with our own wood material waste and we use photovoltaics to cover our electricity power requirement.

 

KÜHLA-Philosophy - Profit from yesterday, operate in today and think about tomorrow

Profit from yesterday, operate in today and think about tomorrow

We develop constantly – always taking account to the needs of our customers, to actual market trends and developments and to the latest technical possibilities. With our experience and our comprehensive range of services, our qualified and motivated team and with best connections to long-standing partners we face the challenges of today and lead our company towards a successful future.

 

KÜHLA-Philosophy - Strength through cooperation

Strength through cooperation

We form a close and trusting relationship to the architects, store planners and retailers during all project phases – from planning and production to assembly and handover. Our project managers offer a comprehensive support to all our partners and customers throughout the complete project. By changing challenges with every project our team has to give every day its best to think beyond the boundaries of the already known and also to act in this way.

 

KÜHLA-Philosophy - Europe is growing together, we grow with

Europe is growing together, we grow with

New ideas, new experiences, new contacts – in past years we earned the trust of many new customers in Germany but also in other European countries, especially in the Scandinavian countries. We benefit from the cross-border contact and the transfer of ideas and look forward to further joint projects in the future.

 

 

 

OUR STORY

 

Die KÜHLA-Chronik - Die Idee

The idea

The KÜHLA project was started in autumn 1988 on the property of the family Niehaus in Langförden. The vision: to combine the manufacturing of cooling cabinets and gastronomy equipment with the competence in shopfitting and wood processing to one strong corporate business concept.

No sooner said than done! In addition to the wood processing KÜHLA has integrated the processing of stainless steel and solid surface materials to its own business portfolio at an early stage.

Customers, especially from the catering industry, benefit from this special portfolio.

 

Die neue KÜHLA

KÜHLA then and now

This idea from the early days is also the brand essence of the modern KÜHLA. With a holistic range of services and its high-range tailor made special construction, the company has set important impulses and priorities.

Today KÜHLA is producing with more than 50 employees for customers and partners from Germany and abroad.

As an executive partner of the architects, technical planners and furnishers the company realizes innovative furnishing ideas and custom-made cooling concepts for the food sector.

 

Excursion: The Niehaus familiy - 175 years tradition in Wood processing

There is hardly no other location in Langförden and the neighbour region that shows such a deep bonding to the wood processing industry than the Niehaus estate in the Nordkämpe. In 1912 it was built by the family Niehaus at the current location in Langförden ̶ including workshops and premises.

Luftbild aus den 50er Die neue KÜHLA - Luftbild 2014

(picture left: the estate Niehaus in the 50ies of the 20th century, picture right: view of the estate Niehaus with business premises of the current KÜHLA GmbH)

Obviously the family Niehaus controls their handicraft almost masterfully already in the 19th century. This shows an authenticated document from 26. April 1841. The document states that the carpenter Johann Niehaus is allowed to use the title master carpenter and that he is also allowed to maintain a workshop for wood processing.

Alter Meisterbrief aus dem Jahre 1926

"Das Amt Vechta 26.4.1841: Der Tischlergeselle Johann Niehaus hat sein Handwerk gehörig gelernt, hat der Wehrpflicht genügt, besitzt das erforderliche Vermögen, hat die erforderliche Geschicklichkeit durch eine Probearbeit dargetan und darf sich […] als Tischlermeister niederlassen.“

(Abb links: Meister-Brief aus dem Jahre 1926)

 

Die KÜHLA-Chronik - Tischlerei

A masterly story of wood and wood processing

Another elaborately designed master document (see figure above) from 1926 owns Joseph Niehaus, builder of the Niehaus estate in Nordkämpe, Langförden, and furthermore the great-great-grandfather of the current owner of the KÜHLA company Franz-Josef Niehaus.

A lot of things have changed greatly during the last 100 years, many modifications and additions were adjusted to the Niehaus estate. But one thing hasn't changed at all till the present day ̶ the deep bonding of the family Niehaus to wood and to the wood processing industry.
