Nolte Kitchens Debuts in South Africa via Local Partnership

German craftsmanship meets South African entrepreneurship as Nolte Küchen partners with Nolte Kitchens Sandton to bring world-class kitchen design to the local market. 

German kitchen manufacturer Nolte Küchen officially launches in South Africa, partnering with proudly South African-owned Pinnacle Stone to unveil its new showroom in Kramerville, Sandton.

Founded in 1958, Nolte Küchen produces more than 1 300 kitchens daily and supplies over 60 countries. Its South African launch brings decades of German engineering together with Pinnacle Stone's premium architectural surfaces and local expertise.

Behind Nolte Kitchens Sandton are husband-and-wife entrepreneurs Wanela and Kagiso Komane, who founded Pinnacle Stone in 2020. Building on their entrepreneurial success, the duo established Nolte Kitchens Sandton in mid-2026, expanding into a complementary venture through a partnership with internationally renowned German kitchen brand Nolte Küchen.

“For us, this partnership is about more than beautiful kitchens. It's proof that South African entrepreneurs have the expertise and ambition to stand alongside the world's most respected brands,” says Wanela Komane, Co-Founder of Nolte Kitchens Sandton.

Beyond aesthetics, modern, well-designed kitchens can enhance a property's appeal and potential resale value, making quality craftsmanship, durable materials and timeless design important considerations for South African homeowners.

“A kitchen is one of the most significant investments in a home. By combining German engineering with premium stone surfaces, we're creating spaces designed to deliver exceptional quality, functionality and lasting value,” says Kagiso Komane, Co-Founder of Nolte Kitchens Sandton.

Extending the collaboration beyond the kitchen, Nona International, represented by Nelli Cele, will introduce an exclusive, limited-period consumer offer. Customers purchasing a qualifying Nolte Küchen kitchen will receive a curated selection of designer tableware from ASA Selection, the internationally recognised German homeware brand.

Enhancing the aesthetic narrative of the new showroom, Nona International, a Sandton-based destination for luxury tableware and modern dining design, led by Nelli Cele - brings expert styling to the collaboration. Beyond styling the showroom, Nona International will offer complimentary tableware styling for every new Nolte Küchen handover, giving clients the exclusive opportunity to purchase the curated ASA Selection sets at a discounted rate. 

For Nolte Küchen, South Africa represents an exciting new market. For Nolte Kitchens Sandton, the partnership demonstrates the strength of local entrepreneurship and the value of international collaboration.

Together, they're positioning South Africa not simply as a market for global design, but as a partner in its future.
