The Kitchen Family of the Baumann Group can announce another success in China in its collaboration with the sales specialist Hermand Haus: Following the cooperation for the lifestyle brands “Doho” (burgers) and “Me” (construction format) last year, Burger has now joined the select circle of European suppliers that equip projects of the real estate giant China Vanke. The linchpin here is the cloud-based software HH Cloud Design, which Hermand Haus developed for furnishing residential units. The contract with Vanke is initially set for three years.

China Vanke is one of the largest real estate companies in the People’s Republic. According to the company’s own information, 639 projects have already been realized since its foundation in 1984 (as of the end of 2019). In a rigorous selection process, Hermand Haus has succeeded in establishing itself as a supplier of furniture from Europe, using the HH Cloud Design software introduced last year. It enables detailed planning of entire apartments using the furniture of partner companies, including Burger as a kitchen supplier.

Matthias Berens, Managing Director of the Baumann group, is delighted about the great success in China: “With HH Cloud Design, our long-standing partner Hermand Haus has created a digital masterpiece. The software brings designers, suppliers and customers together. Not only does it allow for vividly visualized planning, but also for purchasing furniture directly from the platform. We are proud to be Burger’s exclusive kitchen supplier for this great concept, which paved the way for Vanke’s projects, and thank them for the trust they have placed in us.

The selection process, in which Hermand Haus and Burger were able to establish themselves as partners for China Vanke, took about half a year. Now the manufacturer belongs to the select circle of 18 German and Italian kitchen brands that supply the real estate giant in China. The fact that Hermand Haus equips its properties using cloud-based software is a novelty.
