Shared vision

Since 1934, innovation driven as much by manufacturing and product marketing and commercial aspects as by product quality and customer and partner proximity has lifted the Schmidt Group onto the winner’s podium in France and placed us among the world’s leaders in the manufacture and distribution of furniture. Our aim is to contribute to the well-being and long-lasting enjoyment that our customers derive from our products and services.

Designed over the years as a true extended enterprise, Schmidt Groupe is now an ecosystem, unique of its kind, that controls every step of customer value creation, from design through production to distribution, both locally and internationally … From the very start, our Group has grown by combining manufacturing and commercial excellence and by building a sales network of partner dealers and thus developing an outstanding level of customer proximity. All the stakeholders who work to ensure our customers’ enjoyment are driven by the Group’s culture of passion. Every one of them is an ambassador, endowed with interpersonal skills and unparalleled expertise!

Involving more than 8 300 people around the world, Schmidt Groupe is driven by human energy!

The human challenge

Management quality, a selective recruitment policy and a mentoring policy that enables everyone to build the career they want… …Building the best teams, both culturally and technically, is at the heart of the Group’s strength.

Schmidt Groupe, a name that is synonymous with quality, is primarily a state of mind where innovation, creativity and rigour are combined through the strong human values that we demand of ourselves and others; values such as enjoyment, consideration, trust, cooperation, responsibility, flexibility, and commitment to performance.

The manufacturing challenge

Proud of its independence, Schmidt Groupe invests in innovation, the driver of both its long-term success as well as its human relations. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, its factories (manufacturing space of 160, 000 m² in Europe) are admired throughout the world for their level of automation and the large-scale production of made-to-measure furniture. They illustrate the unwavering readiness to face new challenges that characterises each and every one of the Group’s teams.

Innovation is the driving force that inspires confidence both internally and externally. The quest for industrial and economic excellence only makes sense when coupled with the pursuit of powerful human ambition.

The commercial challenge

For our network of partner dealers or business partners, our dedication to the customer imposes coherent organisational structures in order to guarantee the best possible service. Every customer requirement is a new tale to tell. A vital priority is to develop the very best showrooms, the best products and the best services throughout the world. Each customer is treated individually to ensure that the fulfilment of their dreams is the top priority for our Designers, trained at our in-house Training Centre.

Our Brands (Schmidt et Cuisinella) respond to the wishes of different customer segments, each with its own expectations. Our services favour, above all, personalised relationships and support, which is why our sales networks have close ties with our production sites. This is the extended enterprise which delights its customers day after day.

The societal challenge

The responsibility of a company clearly extends beyond economics. It needs to be “at the very heart of things” in issues such as sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. With all of its certifications, Schmidt Groupe has always been a pioneer in the field of CSR, even though it has acted quietly behind the scenes because these are not PR issues but questions of conscience. Eco-customers are at home with us.
