In 1927 the companies founder, Albert Nothdurft, opened up a small carpentry workshop in the town of Wangen bei Göppingen, thus effectively laying down the foundations for ALNO. The positive development of this workshop, and the fine quality of the hand-made work it supplied, led to the relocation of its production facilities to Pfullendorf in 1957, and in 1958 the carpentry workshop developed into ALNO Möbelwerke GmbH + Co. KG (”ALNO Furniture Production Ltd).”

In August 2003, ALNO AG was merged with the Casawell Service Group, a network of companies active across the world in the fields of fitted kitchens and DIY-kitchens and in kitchen technology. With a turnover of+nbsp;602 Mio. EUR during the business year 2007, plus around 2,000 employees, ALNO AG is among the largest manufacturers of kitchens in the world.

Elsewhere in Europe, ALNO has eight wholly-owned marketing subsidiary companies. In addition, ALNO also works together with first-rate importers on all the remaining continents, and in most cases has been doing so for many years – in short, ALNO kitchens from ALNO are available around the world.
