Living outdoors 365 days a year
The kitchen, meanwhile, is undisputedly the central place in the home, where many hours a day are spent. We also see this growth with the outdoor kitchen. Today's ideal garden is a fine relaxing environment that manages to retain its function in all seasons. "An ideal market those outdoor kitchens," is what they thought at agency Marneth Trading VOF from Ulft.
With 12.5 years of experience, Marneth Trading is certainly no stranger to the kitchen industry. The agency does business with kitchen specialists in kitchen brands such as Müller Küchen, Hi-Macs, Natural Stone and Ceramic countertops and Maretti lighting. That father Ger and son Dennis are entrepreneurs pur sang became more than clear during the corona period. Ger: "At that time, the Dutch invested a lot in and around the house. We also noticed that more and more often the barbecue was built in a bit by a few wooden planks. Everyone liked that." From that point on, Marneth Trading started looking around and came across very nice premium outdoor kitchens.
Dennis: "We came across very nice outdoor kitchens from the mid- and high-end segment. Based on some of our customer base also selling indoor kitchens in that segment, we started talking to them about interest. Some have to get used to the idea, but other retailers are excited to bring it into their showroom." Dennis himself sees that an undeniable trend has emerged. "Life in our leisure time is increasingly taking place outside. It seems that outside, as it were, is seen as the new inside. Everyone seems to take extra pleasure in unwinding outside in the garden after a hard day's work."
Ger fully agrees with this statement. "We see an increase in terraces, verandas, luxury canopies or garden rooms. We also see this trend emerging in outdoor kitchens. Outdoor kitchens that are equipped with all conveniences, such as a built-in BBQ, a pizza oven, but also, for example, an outdoor refrigerator."
Outdoor kitchens have many similarities to open kitchens. Cooking together and being close to each other while preparing the tastiest meals is a grown hobby. Not for nothing, cooking clubs are springing up everywhere.
Marneth Trading supplies the extremely beautiful outdoor kitchens by CUBIC and Freiluft, among others, which can really stand outside 365 days, and grills by Flammkraft. Ger: "The Flammkraft Gas BBQ Grills are Germany's most popular High End gas grills. The design is truly eye-catching because of the high-quality materials, perfect manufacturing and detailed workmanship. The high-end grill offers professional performance that is greatly appreciated by our eastern neighbors. The design won a Germany Design Award in 2020." The other outdoor kitchen brand that is much discussed with Marneth Trading is CUBIC. Dennis: "CUBIC distinguishes itself by using a, in-house developed lightweight material, for the body and fronts in many colors. A finishing layer, also developed in-house, creates a rock-hard surface that effortlessly withstands external influences and thus overcomes weather and wind. A Kamado or Gas BBQ from our house collection rounds off the outdoor kitchen."
It is just a summary of the many options Marneth Trading offers in the field of outdoor kitchens. Besides CUBIC, Freiluft and Flammkraft, the Ulft-based agency also provides a stage for products from Big Green Egg, Beefeater, Napoleon, Monolith, Sparks pizza ovens and CASO BBQ Cooling, among others. Marneth Trading continues to do what we have come to expect from them for years: when they do it, they do it right!
