Parent company of Keller Kitchens, DKG has made a series of “major” investments in the company to boost productivity and continue to enhance sustainability.

The Netherlands-based manufacturer has a kitchen factory, which measures 65,000sqm.

To further increase the capacity, the current production line for special units will be replaced by a new line, that can more than double capacity, by later this year.

In addition, two additional laser-based edge banding machines have been ordered for delivery in 2023.

Enhancing its sustainability credentials, Keller Kitchens has installed a Dual-Flex Saw line, with a linked off-cut warehouse.

It features smart technology to enable small and single-piece parts to be produced with less wastage.

In addition, the company has made three investments to improve the production efficiency, while maintaining the quality of its lacquered and stained kitchens.

It has fitted new climate units in the lacquer department to ensure a constant quality, so the indoor climate is no longer influenced by the outdoor climate.

In addition, Keller Kitchens has installed a sanding flutter machine and, in the second quarter, it will add a one-surface dust removal process for flat spraying.

In addition to these factory investments, DKG is in the process of building a new head office in Bergen op Zoom, which adds to the trade showroom – DKG Inspiration Centre.

With these investments, DKG is completing a period of renewal after the integration of Bruynzeel and Keller Kitchens in 2015.

DKG expects to open its renovated business complex at the end of summer 2022 .

Originally established as a parquet flooring provider by Gerard and Henk Keller, the business moved into manufacturing kitchens in 1946 and Keller Kitchens has been carbon neutral since 2017.
