Your full service provider of extraordinary interior design for communal catering.
We are a quality leader in the manufacturing of bespoke interior design and are an independent direct sales company of state-of-the-art kitchen technology and standard operating equipment.
Since 1921 the brand name Winkler Design has stood for extraordinary commercial furnishing. We offer state-of-the-art complete solutions – each object is unique, manufactured by our 65 experts at the headquarters in Röttingen with a lot of attention to detail and a tremendous vertical range of manufacture. The combination of handicraft, overall service, and experience makes us a much sought-after business partner for renowned industrial enterprises, institutions, the gastronomy trade, and rail car manufacturers.
We are manufacturers
Unlike the specialized trade we design, manufacture, and assemble ourselves, which is why we are particularly responsive and are able to respond individually to customer requirements and provide any kind of service from a single source. Premium quality, customer relief, and great experience is what distinguishes us from the competition.
We are a direct sales company
We are a vendor-independent direct sales company and your partner for canteen kitchen technology, rinsing technique, and standard operating equipment. This makes us particularly flexible and sought-after. After all, we can procure any brand article you require and put together a customized, vendor-independent turnkey package for you.
We are experts
Over many decades and through numerous pioneering projects we have developed and constantly advanced our specialist skills ourselves. This enables us to offer customized turnkey solutions executed by true experts however complex the individual process steps are.
We add value to your interior design.
