On 10 May 2019, a French commercial court chose Nowy Styl Group’s offer to become an investor in Majencia, a company in bankruptcy. We will take over plants in Noyon and Bressuire, and hire most of Majencia’s staff. Setting up of a new company is expected to help heal the French company and restore it to a leadership position on the French office furniture market.

The completed transaction is another West-European acquisition by the Nowy Styl Group, after it took over a German company Kusch+Co this year, a Swiss company Sitag in 2015, a company operating in Germany and the Netherlands Rohde & Grahl in 2013, and a German brand Grammer Office in 2011.

“We keep investing in the development of our Western European markets. We have been present in France for nearly 20 years, but by taking over Majencia we are going to take number one position in a country which is a major European market, next to Germany. We believe that a capital injection into Majencia’s business, our company’s global scale of operations and our experience in the integration and optimization of business processes will help restore Majencia’s strength” said Adam Krzanowski, the President of the Nowy Styl Group.

Every year, the German Design Council (Rat für Formgebung) honours the signposts of the German and international design landscape with a renowned jury. The German Design Award 2019 was presented on 8 February 2019 at Ambiente in Frankfurt am Main and, with over 1,300 guests, is one of the most important design events of the year. Three new products from the Rohde & Grahl brand are among the winners: Xilium, Denuo and LinkUP.

The office chair families and the Soft Seating solution were presented "live" for the first time at Orgatec 2018 in October last year and were nominated for the coveted design award by the German Design Council even before their official market launch.
