The annual Küchenmeile is gradually appearing on the horizon and the many exhibitors are buzzing with activity to draw out their stands, come up with a concept and get the necessary products and materials ready. One of the most talked-about locations is the picturesque Gut Böckel estate. Once again, ten top brands are joining forces to pamper visitors. This year, right on Sunday, September 17, they are organizing a special Benelux evening from 16:00-21:00.

A historic estate, beautifully renovated while preserving the atmosphere of yesteryear, forms the most striking exhibition location of the Küchenmeile. The old stables, forge and castle of Gut Böckel have been transformed into modern presentation rooms where authentic elements have been beautifully preserved. Once again this year, ten top brands are joining forces to turn Gut Böckel (temporarily) into a unique kitchen setting. In alphabetical order, these are Bauknecht, Beko, Caesarstone, Grundig, Jetstone, Keller, Küppersbusch, Miele, Smeg and Teka.
Landgoed Gut Böckel will transform into a kitchen estate from September 17 to 21, 2023. Immediately on the first evening, the ten brands will organize a special Benelux evening where they will welcome visitors from the Low Countries with extra extensive representation, of course with a snack and a drink, and then immediately present the latest developments. “It is an excellent opportunity to discover innovations at the ten brands in one evening, to exchange ideas, to build and/or deepen valuable relationships”, we read in the invitation on the joint LinkedIn page of the participating brands, where you can also find the latest information and news about this collaboration and the Benelux evening.

At Bauknecht, much attention will be paid to the new MaxiSpace dishwasher, which, thanks to a clever adaptation of the motor, still offers 10% more space for dishes at the same size. The modular system with three racks also offers room for larger items: tall glasses in the upper rack, wine glasses and plates up to 19 cm in the middle rack and larger (pizza) plates up to 32 cm in the lower one. The top rack's proprietary rinsing system brings water into every nook and cranny, thus ensuring first-class cleaning.
Beko unpacks its new built-in range in full black design, a combination of harmonious design and smart technologies. Thus, the user-friendly ovens get the intuitive hot air system for optimal heat distribution AeroPerfect, a technology that ensures even and perfect cooking of the most delicious dishes.

Those looking for a worktop for the indoor or outdoor kitchen, a wall panel for the bathroom or a durable surface for business use can take a look at Caesarstone at Gut Böckel. The manufacturer of premium quartz and porcelain surfaces strives for excellence and innovation with the most advanced designs and sustainable applications.
A mouse-quiet refrigerator with plenty of space and optimal preservation of ingredients further expands Grundig's built-in range. Measuring 70 cm wide by 194 cm high, the fridge-freezer is an answer to the demand for larger volumes in refrigeration and freezer applications. A more efficient compressor and a new fan keep the noise level at a whisper-quiet 35 dbA.
Jetstone and Keller are once again filling the Haferhaus with a joint display where the ceramic and composite offerings from Jetstone
will be incorporated into Keller's various kitchen and interior design solutions. Both brands closely follow interior design trends and come up with beautiful colors and materials used in surprising kitchen designs in a variety of styles. And lighting will also have its place.

On the upper floor of the Haferhaus, Küppersbusch is once again setting up an inspiring environment where the latest news and trends will receive plenty of attention. Every visitor will thus have ample opportunity to get a good idea of the German manufacturer's individual style and design.
Miele is presenting its Generation 7000 line during the Küchenmeile, which includes the latest cooktop with extraction, equipped with powerful linkable cooking zones and Silence motor. The combi-steam ovens with DualSteam technology and HydroClean self-cleaning also deserve their place in the spotlight.

The Italian family company SMEG presents one of its novelties: built-in wine climate cabinets with a recess height of 60 cm. This spacious wine cooler has space for 29 bottles and features two adjustable temperature zones from 5° to 20°C. Ideal for keeping both white and red wine at the right temperature. The wine cooler is available in three different design lines, including the new color Neptune Grey from the Linea line. A subtle, gray hue with a matte finish.
Also on the upper floor of the Haferhaus: the German manufacturer TEKA. They have received numerous design awards in recent years and these will feature prominently in the presentation TEKA is preparing.
