Schulte Ufer
Josef Schulte-Ufer KG, has been producing high-quality kitchenware for private use for nearly 125 years. Their products are durable. They combine practical solutions with outstanding quality, meeting the highest standards. They do not, rely on fashionable gimmicks or short-lived trends. They create values that outlast time and are sustainable. The tradition is to process only first-class materials like stainless steel, copper or aluminium. At the same time, their in-house designers, engineers and test chefs ensure that our products are equally beautiful and functional, fitting in perfectly with everyday kitchen tasks. Josef Schulte, the founder of the Company, pursued this idea from the very outset. Employed as a packer in a company in Sundern, he manufactured wall rails for hanging heating devices as a sideline in his parent's cellar. Once he had found sufficient customers for further products, including extendable curtain rods, he dared to set up on his own. He gave up his employment and founded Josef Schulte-Ufer KG in 1886, with seed capital of 30 Reichsmark. He chose the affix "Ufer" to preclude any confusion of names. The current range of products is very diverse. It ranges from cookware and fryware to woks, fondue sets and kettles through to interior articles and baking dishes. It goes without saying here that these are premium products. They are, for example, the only European provider to equip a large part of our kitchenware with a protherm® copper base suitable for induction cooking. Copper is expensive and complex in terms of processing. As a particularly good and fast heat conductor, however, copper helps to conserve energy and to cook vitamins gently. Only a copper base guarantees the best cooking results. By having products that are unique, state of the art and timelessly beautiful, they have not only made an excellent name for themselves amongst the trade and end users, but have also received product and quality awards from independent institutions again and again over the years.
