Magnet Contract Kitchen Solutions Merges With Rixonway Kitchens

Magnet Contract Kitchen Solutions and Rixonway Kitchens have merged into one business: Magnet CKS.

In a LinkedIn post, Andrew Gould, Sales and Operations Director at Magnet Contract Kitchen Solutions, said:

"Today I am so happy to announce the formal trading partnership of Magnet Contract Kitchen Solutions and Rixonway Kitchens. These industry leading brands, both part of the Nobia Group, will trade under the name of Magnet CKS from today.

"We have amalgamated our sales teams and will soon have a common product platform which will align with those products currently supplied by Magnet, to both the trade and retail sectors. The new Rixonway Collection will mirror the frontals that have been so successful in the social housing market but resized to the Magnet cabinetry. This allows our customers to have access to bulk loads or single kerbside deliveries, from local stores, that best suits their needs. In essence all our customers will have access to the Magnet brand and the quality cabinet that won the Which ‘Best Buy’ kitchen awards in both rigid and flat pack formats.

"Our new communications and website will be available very soon but the feedback from our customers on both sides has been extremely positive. The further expansion of Magnet CKS is under way and will continue to change the contract kitchen market into a best in class service proposition the industry demands.

"Our reception desk at the Magnet CKS HQ in Dewsbury, looks absolutely fabulous. This is going to be fun !"

In July, Nobia, the parent company of Magnet and Rixonway kitchens, reported on second-quarter trading and confirmed its intention to 'increase efficiency' in the UK. The report indicated that around 240 employees across the UK store network and supply chain would be affected by the plans.
