At a time when new U.S. import tariffs threaten to raise the cost of kitchen cabinetry, homeowners, designers, and developers are increasingly concerned about budget uncertainty and project delays. German Kitchen Center is addressing these challenges head-on by maintaining stable pricing and continuing to deliver premium and luxury kitchen solutions without passing additional costs on to clients.
About German Kitchen Center
German Kitchen Center is the only company in the United States to unite six of the world’s leading kitchen and cabinetry manufacturers under one roof. Serving homeowners, architects, designers, builders, and developers nationwide, GKC offers a full spectrum of solutions ranging from value-premium German kitchen systems to ultra-luxury bespoke cabinetry handcrafted in England and Austria.
Backed by more than 25 years of industry experience and thousands of completed projects, German Kitchen Center is recognised for its highly reliable, process-driven approach to kitchen design and delivery.
The Vision Behind GKC
The U.S. kitchen industry has traditionally been highly fragmented, with more than 99 percent of providers operating as small, owner-run businesses often constrained by limited resources and inconsistent processes. German Kitchen Center was founded to challenge this model by combining world-class international products with large-scale operational reliability, professional systems, and consistent client support.
GKC’s mission is to provide access to the best kitchens in the world while eliminating the risks commonly associated with kitchen projects, including delays, cost overruns, and quality inconsistencies.

Six International Product Lines Under One Roof
German Kitchen Center’s diverse portfolio enables it to meet every design style, budget, level of customisation, and project timeline. Its six product lines include:
Nobilia – The world’s largest kitchen manufacturer, offering value-premium German quality with U.S. stock availability, faster delivery, and tariff-free stocked cabinetry.
Leicht – A leading premium German kitchen brand known for advanced engineering and architectural-level design flexibility.

GKC Custom Frameless (USA) – A U.S.-made cabinetry option designed for fast turnaround, flexibility, and full customisation.
Pricing Stability Amid Tariff Pressures
While many companies are increasing prices in response to rising tariffs, German Kitchen Center has chosen to absorb these costs internally. Through large-scale purchasing power and long-standing manufacturing partnerships, GKC is able to offer pricing predictability and financial stability, providing clients with a rare sense of confidence in an increasingly volatile market.
A Scalable and Reliable Service Model
German Kitchen Center differentiates itself through its scale, structured processes, and reliability. Rather than relying on a single designer or owner, GKC operates with a full team of trained designers, project managers, and technical specialists. These teams are supported by proprietary design and ordering systems, national logistics capabilities, and a proven 25-year project methodology.

Its broad product offering enables the company to support both time-sensitive remodels and highly customised luxury builds.
Looking Ahead

The company’s long-term vision is to make world-class kitchen design accessible, reliable, and enjoyable for clients throughout the United States.
