Managing director at Nolte Kitchens UK Chris Rushby commented: “We have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with BKNC for many years, both as an investor in the business and also as a supplier – providing the business and their clients with Nolte high quality contract kitchens and our premium luxury ranges.

“Moving our relationship on, there are many great synergies and subsequent benefits for our contract kitchen customers to come from this latest development.

“BKNC has an impressive reputation in the contract kitchen installation marketplace with their highly dedicated and experienced trade team, which we are looking forward to integrating into Nolte Kitchens UK.”

He continued: “As a manufacturer, Nolte Kitchens UK will be servicing directly substantially more large-scale developments with national house builders as well as the bespoke smaller builds.

“Acquiring BKNC will allow for more competitive pricing and streamlining of the process, with a greater control and a heightened service proposition, from the initial design stage, to ordering and delivery, right through to installation and dedicated aftercare.”

Managing director of BKNC Harry Ruler will remain in the combined business as contracts director.

He said: “After a partnership spanning over 25 years, BKNC and Nolte UK have officially merged, marking a significant milestone in our relationship.

“Renowned for supplying kitchens for iconic projects such as the Arsenal Football Stadium and numerous large-scale developments across the UK, this merger of business signifies a new era for both BKNC and Nolte in the UK as one combined operation.

“The synergy between Nolte, one of the world’s leading kitchen manufacturers, and BKNC’s wealth of experience and long-standing reputation in delivering large residential schemes, promises huge benefits for both new and existing clients.

“The merger opens up vast opportunities, allowing for the integration of resources and expertise to drive forward in a very competitive market.”

He added: “The partnership not only bolsters our operational capabilities but also provides our house builder clients access to 15 incredible Nolte Kitchens UK showrooms across the country.

“BKNC’s current HQ, warehousing and logistics facility gives the new operation unrivalled access to all areas of the country, a fantastic central location to support local and national developers alike.

“The merger is a very proud moment for all involved, marking the combination of a longstanding partnership built over two decades of business together.

“As BKNC and Nolte embark on this new chapter together, BKNC and Nolte Kitchens UK remain committed to delivering unmatched quality and service to our clients.”

Headquartered in Wilmslow, Cheshire, Nolte Kitchens UK is the UK distributor for German brand Nolte Küchen, acquired privately-owned kitchen retailer The Kitchen Group in 2022, and currently has 15 showrooms in the UK.

Sintered stone manufacturer Neolith has launched Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset, inspired by nature and classical architecture, and for use in kitchens or bathrooms walls, floors, in gardens or facades.

They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.

Inspired by Ancient Rome,  Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.

While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).

Just like all of Neolith’s surfaces, Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset are resistant to heat and atmospheric conditions, are 100% recyclable, and do not contain added quartz to their formulation.
