Nestle Fenster - a business with a 400-year history

Nestle Fenster GMBH is one of the oldest window manufacturing companies in Germany, with a tradition dating back more than 400 years. Today the business is run by Annkathrin Nestle and her sister, representing the twelfth generation in the Nestle family. Over the centuries, this family business has evolved and adapted to changes in the industry to become a leading name in window manufacturing, as shown in the HOMAG video at the end of the article.

The company offers a wide range of products, from wooden windows, wood-aluminum windows to plastic windows and doors of various types. All production, from planning to manufacture and assembly, is carried out in-house, ensuring rigorous quality control and efficient production.

A turning point for Nestle Fenster was the partnership with HOMAG. In the 1990s, the business began to grow significantly and the decision to collaborate with HOMAG led to the modernization of production and the integration of new processing technologies. This collaboration was initiated by implementation of a project which consisted in modification of a CNC machine for furniture production, and subsequently developed into a successful partnership.

Cooperation between the two companies has led to a number of innovations and improvements in production. New machines and production lines have been introduced, increasing capacity and precision in window and door manufacturing. This efficiency has helped Nestle Fenster meet the challenge of a shortage of skilled workers, allowing employees to concentrate on other tasks.

Over time, Nestle Fenster has continued to expand, opening new locations and increasing its product range. In 2010, the company built a new production facility in Hörschweiler, which has been steadily expanded. In 2017, a new hall and processing center were added, doubling the production capacity.

The "World of Ideas for Windows and Doors" showroom in Tumlingen has become an important destination for customers and industry professionals, reinforcing Nestle Fenster's position as a leading manufacturer.

Today, Annkathrin Nestle and her team continue to develop the family business, maintaining quality standards and adapting to growing trends towards sustainability. This success story reflects the evolution of a family business, building on tradition and innovation to meet contemporary challenges. Below the story Nestle Fenster GMBH in a HOMAG video.
