The design system has come up with new features that are intended to increase the durability of the furniture and make the process of assembly simpler. They include identical left and right sides for all new cabinets, which will put an end to mix-ups during installation. The provision of continuous holes allows for fixing the shelves at whichever height is required. What is more, the organisation of the interior space can be quickly altered as necessary. All hinges in the new programme have been changed to the simple, easy to manage clip technique. This makes assembly much less complicated by comparison with the screw-fixed hinges that were previously used.
As an autonomous company within the Poggenpohl group, Optifit has since the year 2000 been part of the Swedish company Nobia, which claims to be the biggest manufacturer of kitchens in Europe. More than a dozen famous kitchen brand names are to be found under the umbrella of the Scandinavian group of companies.
