himolla – upholstery for people

With our slogan “upholstery for people”, we feel duty-bound to act in a sustainable manner. This applies to both our environment and our customers, as well as to our staff. And our obligations go far beyond the factory gates. For himolla, sustainability is about forging a close connection between our ecological, economical and social behaviours in relation to the use of all resources. It involves a constant, critical and transparent consideration of all the processes within the company, involving the staff in this process. Each day, around 3,000 members of highly motivated staff produce unique pieces of furniture. In addition to their enthusiasm, passion and constant striving for quality, this requires the desire to do things better each day. This is what drives us on – each and every day! And that is one of the reasons that we make our processes transparent and invite independent institutes to inspect and monitor our work.
