Trade program

Kitchen cabinets for architects, designers and builders

Our trade program supports architects, interior designers and builders who specify German kitchens for their clients. We plan Nolte kitchens from your drawings, supply the specifications you need, and host your clients at the Glendale showroom.

01Partnership

Kitchen cabinets for architects and designers, specified precisely

Specifying kitchen cabinets for architects and designers is different from selling to a homeowner. You need a partner who reads drawings, answers technical questions precisely and keeps your concept intact when it meets a catalog of real modules.

We plan Nolte kitchens inside your architecture: the joint lines, reveals and heights that make a room coherent. Where the Nolte system needs a decision, such as a filler, a carcass height or a handleless profile, we explain the options and let you choose.

Bring your clients to Glendale

Clients decide faster when they can open a drawer and feel a lacquer front. Our showroom has Nolte kitchens alongside bathroom vanities, parquet, tile and natural stone, so a whole-home palette can be reviewed in one visit.

Tell us when you are coming and we will reserve a designer and a table. For one-off projects or ongoing collaborations, start with a conversation. Clients can also sketch a first layout in our 3D configurator before the meeting.

Do you offer trade pricing?
Commercial terms are agreed individually with each trade partner, depending on the project. Please contact us to discuss your work.

Yes. We translate your layout into Nolte modules and show you where the system suggests a change, such as a filler or a different carcass height.
Who installs the kitchen on my project?
We coordinate delivery and can coordinate installation with vetted professionals, or work alongside your general contractor and their schedule.
Do you take on multi-unit or developer projects?
Talk to us early about scope and quantities. We will review your drawings and confirm what is feasible before any commitment.
Can you supply technical data for our specifications?
Yes. We provide Nolte unit dimensions, front thicknesses and material information for your drawings and schedules, and confirm open details with Nolte where needed.
