Trends and impulses for integrated solutions in offices and public areas
The Dauphin HumanDesign Group (DHDG) together with its Bosse, Dauphin, Trend Office and Züco brands successfully offers complete solutions for use in all office and public areas. With its independent brands which are optimally tailored to one another, the group is both technically innovative and ambitiously export-oriented.
Dauphin HumanDesign Group GmbH & Co. KG is one of the companies which come under the umbrella of “Dauphin Office Interiors GmbH & Co. KG” – the Dauphin holding company which has its headquarters in Offenhausen near Nuremberg. With 21 sales and production companies in Germany and abroad as well as numerous licensees and representatives in 59 countries, the Dauphin group is one of the leading manufacturers of office furniture in Europe. The family-run company has 805 members of staff throughout the world and achieved a turnover of 146,3 million euros in 2007. Over 3,000 chairs are currently produced every day in the group’s own production facilities throughout the world. On average, 2,200 of these chairs are produced in Offenhausen in Middle Franconia.
The group is optimally positioned in the market, with a range of products which is both broad and deep at the same time. This range includes intelligent room-structuring and furniture systems from the Bosse brand, ergonomic and design-oriented office chairs and seating from the Dauphin brand, exclusive conference and lounge furniture from the Swiss brand Züco and the modern design and proven ergonomics of the attractively-priced Trend Office brand. As an experienced complete supplier, the DHDG offers versatile solutions, with seating and furniture for use in public areas as well as industrial chairs. Dauphin, the group’s core brand, in particular has been regarded for decades as an undisputed, versatile trendsetter when it comes to ergonomics and design.
The main objective of the DHDG is not only to produce modern furniture for use in public areas. Its fundamental aim is also to create integrated, user-oriented office landscapes and to come up with concepts for healthy sitting and working. The “Sectio Aurea” specialist group which was established specially for this purpose is regarded as a pioneer within the sector. It very quickly made a good name for itself in the field of facility management and now operates highly successfully as an independent service and consultancy business. Via “Sectio Aurea”, the DHDG provides consultancy services to large and medium-sized businesses, assisting in planning and designing modern workplaces which cater for all requirements. It also provides assistance with projects such as the renovating of office buildings or the setting up of new business sites. Numerous renowned businesses including Audi, BMW, Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte, Münchener Rückversicherung, O2 and VW, to name but a few, already use the DHDG network.
Having set up its own sales network with subsidiary companies based in the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, China, Great Britain, Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and Switzerland, the holding company has also established an international presence. Numerous other countries are covered either by licensees or by country representatives. In addition to its production facilities in Germany, the company also operates its own production sites in the USA, England, Spain, South Africa and Switzerland where selected products are manufactured locally.
Dauphin has traditionally had a strong position in Germany. However, an export share of around 36 per cent places it above the sector average. The business activities of the company’s international branches with local production facilities account for a further 14 per cent. As a result, around 50 per cent of the holding company's turnover is generated outside Germany.
As part of its deliberate policy of internationalisation, the DHDG is looking to further consolidate its international position in European countries and further afield by using its own existing sales companies and expanding its network of specialist dealers. It is focusing in particular on the Asia-Pacific region as well as on increasing its share of the Eastern European market.
