Rolf Benz to return to German ownership
13/02/2026
The Nagold-based company has been owned since 2018 by Kuka Investment and Management, a subsidiary of Chinese upholstery group Jason Furniture. The transaction is scheduled to close in March 2026. Financial terms and the identities of the other consortium members have not been disclosed.
Mr Niehage is expected to become chairman of the supervisory board. The consortium said it plans to sharpen the brand, increase innovation and secure long-term profitability through targeted investment and potential strategic expansion.
Chief executive officer Jürgen Mauß and chief financial officer Jens Hofmann will remain in their positions and will take equity stakes under the new ownership structure. The company said its premium positioning, design leadership and production in Baden-Württemberg will remain unchanged.
Founded in 1964, Rolf Benz employs more than 400 people and is regarded as one of Germany’s best-known upholstered furniture brands.
