For KEBE A/S we’re seeking an experienced and international orientated Development Director with solid experience from the furniture industry.

THE COMPANY
KEBE is a technological front-runner when it comes to development, production and sale of furniture in cold-cure moulded foam. For 40 years, KEBE have been creating simple, contemporary design-led furniture using this unique and particularly durable material. Good craftsmanship, creative curiosity and the courage to challenge the status quo are the driving force behind the success story.

The mission is to develop modern quality furniture at competitive prices. The product development takes place in close cooperation with some of the best furniture designers of the time - among others Says Who, Hans Thyge & Co. and Jacob Würtzen. We control the entire design and development process with drawings, prototypes, 3-D scans, 5-axis machining, production of castings and metal frames, processing of cold-cure foam, adaptation of upholstery, and rounds of intensive testing - all done under our own roof.

In the recent years, KEBE has experienced significant growth and has made major investments in own production facilities and development department in Poland and China. We have offices in Stilling near Aarhus and in Poland, where all back-up functions and administration are placed.

The products are sold throughout Europe and in several overseas markets through leading furniture chains and specialty / department stores – both via agents, distributers and directly to the customer. The export share is steadily increasing, both as a result of increased sales to existing customers and continuous penetration of new markets.
