What makes a well-designed room?
It holds more than just furniture.
It holds the key to well-being.
A well-designed room speaks to you. It says welcome, and invites you
in to work, live or simply stay a while. Anyone entering such a room
senses immediately that their requirements have been understood.
We can help you furnish your rooms so that they are both attractive
and functional. Find out more about WIBU as your partner. We can
help – whether you are looking for someone to take on an entire
design project, or simply want to buy a new bed or a comfortable
chair, our products and services speak for themselves.

A solid basis for the future
WIBU stands for over 80 years of expertise and experience
In some ways a business, with all its employees, is no different to an individual. Every day, it
faces new demands for which solutions need to be found. And the experience gained helps
it make the right decisions. When you place your trust in WIBU, you benefit from more than
80 years of knowledge and experience.
A good idea
The “Wirtschaftsbund Sozialer Einrichtungen” was founded in 1920, when a
number of welfare associations in Germany formed a cooperative. And to this
day the original purpose remains one of our core activities: providing a fast
supply of quality, affordable goods for all kinds of establishments through concentrated bulk buying.
But we are far more than just a supplier. With our wide range of services tailored to our customers’ requirements, we are the ideal partner – from the initial
planning phase onwards.
Our customers
We are delighted that every year more than 9,000 customers place their trust
in our four business divisions. They include private institutions, welfare associations, state welfare organisations and businesses.
The basis for our success: experienced employees
The ability to achieve the ideal furnishing solution and offer you the right products requires committed and qualified staff. With WIBU, you can be sure that
you are dealing with experienced, fully qualified and regularly trained staff. We
understand your needs and know your special requirements.
We are where you need us
We take this statement literally: with eight branches nationwide, we are always

a complex variety of demands. Our networked business divisions reflect this diversity, which is why we always
have a clear overview of the situation and, working hand in hand, we are able to develop universal solutions
tailored to your requirements.

How you benefit from working with us
We assist you, as architect or planner, by
taking responsibility for selecting interior
furnishings and creating a design concept. You give us a ground plan of the
project, and we then draw up a furnishing
proposal, working in close cooperation
with our interior designers, whose responsibilities include the design and colour
scheme of the interior furnishings.
You will find us the best partner for your
requirements – we can take on the complete project, from planning the use
of space right through to delivery and
instruction for users of the products supplied. Regardless of whether you are

hospital or students’ hall of residence, an
office building or a waiting area: we are

valuable advice and support.
We work hand in hand with you every

Our comprehensive product range can
cater for any budget and your client’s
every demand.
We know the market and know the
technical demands made on the products we supply.
We work together with leading manufacturers whose products will still be
modern in both design and function,

as homes for the elderly and nursing
homes.

source.
This means a single contact partner for

interior furnishing. The benefits are clear:
In other words, someone who is able to

interior design and furnishing of a new
building. Someone who draws up colour
and concept proposals, never losing sight

will continue to offer customer care even
after completion of the furnishing project.
Furnishing proposal
So that you know how
your rooms will ultimately look.
You are supported by an expert partner

or laundries.
Our furnishing creates an attractive and
harmonious environment in all rooms,
supported by a coordinated colour
scheme, which is agreed in discussions
with WIBU.
We give in-depth answers to all your
questions, including such complex
matters as fire protection, hygiene
regulations or the maintenance of
medical devices.

Living spaces
Creating a home from home
The furnishing of a room can make the difference between being “somewhere
strange” and feeling at home. The feeling of being home from home has a very
positive effect on one’s sense of well-being.
Example:
“Haus Emmaus hospice” in Wetzlar
For its interior design, the hospice
chose care beds and furniture from
WIBU. When selecting the products,
we placed emphasis on warm wood
shades and fabrics to lend the rooms
warmth and the secure feeling of
home.

Selected products for residents’ and hospital rooms
Individual homes away from home
From care beds, cabinets and seating, right through to window decoration, we offer all the furnishing products that you need for your residents’ rooms, selected according to your individual requirements and
budget.
For this purpose, we take into account both psychological criteria and
functional aspects, such as the use of fire-retarding materials suited to
your specific premises.
Care beds
Cosy and functional.
Care beds
Individual and comfortable.
But, for us, homeliness is always at the forefront. Using colours,
shapes and design, we aim to achieve this without losing sight of the
wishes of residents and staff.
Special beds in hospitals and nursing homes
The bed is the most important product in a hospital or nursing home
room. Which is why we only supply beds from leading manufacturers
in order to provide innovative furniture of the highest quality.
A cosy design, functionality and electrical and medical safety according to current safety standards are major factors when selecting
beds. We also offer matching mattresses with a high level of lying comfort and prevention or pressure sores.
Hospital beds
Innovative technology.
Chairs
Sophisticated design
with maximum sitting
comfort.
Cabinets
Maximum storage
capacity in the minimum
of space.
Special demands on chairs and cabinets
A good chair for senior citizens features a number of specific details.
Wooden arm rests, for example, provide support when getting up and
sitting down and improve safety, particularly when built as solidly as
our chairs. An ergonomic backrest and the use of high quality foams
further increase sitting comfort. A removable cover with integrated
moisture protection or washable microfibre ensures that the necessary
hygiene standards are met.
When planning wardrobes, we always ensure that the inner compartments are designed so that they are suitable for the elderly or those
requiring assistance.
Mattresses
Long-term lying
comfort.
Window decoration
Colour schemes that
make you feel at home.

Relax, chat, linger
Our rooms invite you to feel at home
Some public or communal rooms seem to positively welcome and invite the visitor to enter
and linger a while. This atmosphere arises when people experience a welcoming feeling evoked by the soft tones of conversation, the enticing aroma of something good to eat perhaps,
and, last but not least, pleasant surroundings. We aim to help create such a symbiosis.
Example: Caritas Home for the
Elderly, St. Josef, Fulda
The owners of this home have used
WIBU products in a large number of
their rooms – including the communal
focal point of the building, the wonderfully bright cafeteria. It is on two levels
and its light, warm atmosphere invites
residents and guests alike to stop and
spend time. The selection of products
was made in close cooperation with
the clients, the Gemeinnütziges Siedlungswerk in Frankfurt, and the Caritas
Association, Fulda.

A complex task: furnishing dining areas, common rooms
and public areas
Chairs, sideboards, glass cabinets and window decoration − in rooms
where you want generate a feeling of well-being for a large number
of people, the atmosphere created by your furniture plays a key role.
Depending on the individual situation, this can range from cosiness to
cool elegance. The key is to select products that harmonise with their
surroundings and give them a personal touch.
Furniture for waiting areas
Functional waiting areas with an
individual atmosphere.
Signs
For fast orientation.
Beyond the emotional level, the functionality of a room will determine
the long-term sense of well-being for the people who use it. Chairs that
offer a high degree of sitting comfort play an important part.
In public areas, a good furnishing concept should also provide orientation. Our individually planned reception counters often form the visual
and functional focal point. An inviting and communicative design is
just as important as the ergonomics of the workplaces provided.
How we plan
Partitions
Stylishly creating a place to enjoy
moments of privacy.
Chairs
Sitting comfortably,
you’ll want to stay.
Each room is unique. Which is why we plan each room individually.
Using ground plans, and taking into account typical traffic routes, we
find out which interior design is ideal. In this way, we can ensure that
wheelchair users can also get from A to B quickly and conveniently.
Before you get down to selecting specific products, we draw up a
colour scheme with a harmonious and coordinated selection of fabrics
and colours.
One important aspect of the planning goes largely unseen but is still
extremely important: adherence to and implementation of the many
statutory requirements, e.g. fire safety and hygiene regulations.
Furniture for gardens and conservatories Kitchens

that every room creates a feeling of well-being, and that you, the customer, are completely satisfied.

Organisation and therapy
Rooms that grow beyond their core function
These days, nurses’ stations and rehabilitation and therapy rooms are often a kind of modern
version of the village green − a focal point where staff and residents meet and communicate.
WIBU furnishing enhances this atmosphere and also takes into account the high functional
requirements of the room in question.
Example: Ronneburg nursing home
This modern and welcoming nurses’
station is a part of the complete furnishing solution supplied by WIBU for the
Ronneburg nursing home.

The workplace that allows you to help others
A nurses’ station is the organisational focal point in the daily routine of
nursing and care homes or a hospital ward. At the planning stage, it is
important to ensure that nurses’ stations and duty rooms are as multifunctional as possible:
as an office for planning treatment and filing documentation
for the storage and distribution of drugs
for discussions with relatives and among staff
as a communal area for staff
Documentation carts
Practical help for daily
work.

Task-specific furnishing
Together with your staff, we analyse their daily work routines to enable
us to draw up a furnishing plan that is tailored exactly to their requirements. Whether worktop or modular and medication cabinets, when
selecting furniture, we take care to use rugged materials that meet
hygiene demands and can cope with a permanent workload. We also
supply a wide range of equipment, such as medication refrigerators,
opiate compartments, storage boxes and medication distribution systems, which perfectly matches the selected cabinets.

and equipping therapy kitchens. With height-adjustable countertops
and easily accessible, high-level cupboards and electrical devices, we
are able to create a barrier-free environment for wheelchair users.

Motivation …
Administration rooms
... is all about a sense of well-being
Offices
Conference rooms
What makes people feel committed to the company they work? Why do they identify with it,
and produce their best work? The answer is quite simple: because they enjoy being there.
A pleasant working environment, which also includes an attractive, ergonomic workstation,
is an important basis for this.
Example:
Arjo Deutschland headquarters in Mainz
Logistics played a key role during the relocation of Arjo. As the outfitter for all 50
workstations, it was our task to ensure that
all the furniture supplied was ready to use
on the relevant date so that there was no
interruption of the daily work routine.
Selected products
for offices and conference rooms
Every workplace is unique
No unwelcome surprises
In discussions with your staff, we analyse
their workflows and requirements, which
enables us to draw up an optimum furnishing plan based on this information.
During this process, we are constantly
aware of statutory requirements, such as
the regulations governing the workplace
and computer workstations.
A good office chair is an indispensable
part of the office workplace. For this
reason, we give you the opportunity to try
out different chairs in advance.
And to ensure that your offices will also be
able to adapt to future requirements, we
supply workplace systems that can be individually mixed’n’matched to form a wide
range of combinations.

Trade fairs
Wherever large numbers of people meet for an event, the interior furnishing
performs the important task of unobtrusively creating a conducive atmosphere.
To achieve this, it is necessary to find the ideal combination of practical functionality and attractive furniture design.
Example: bigBOX Allgäu
This famous entertainment complex in
Kempten seats up to 4,150 in comfort – on
modern seats from WIBU.
Selected products for venues
Enduring qualities
Multifunctionality
Although at first glance they may appear
very different, seminar rooms, concert halls
and exhibition stands share one key feature: whether on a daily or hourly basis,
they are exposed to an almost non-stop
flow of visitors. This means that furnishings
have has to withstand enormous wear and
tear. When selecting products, we therefore look for sturdy design and recommend robust and particularly durable materials for chair, table and cabinet surfaces.
Auditoriums are often used for a wide variety of purposes and a varying number of
visitors. Our products take this flexibility
into consideration; so, for instance, chairs
and tables will be stackable – a feature we
consider crucial.

Exhibition Centre
Tables
Flexible use for seminars and conferences.
Seminar chairs
Top quality seating.
Multi-purpose chairs
Great comfort in all

Chapel chairs

Planning with foresight
Even at the planning stage, we consult with
you to agree which materials should be
used in order to meet all fire safety requirements. In addition to functional criteria, we
always focus on the well-being of the visitors.

Water
Treatment rooms
In an ever-changing world – the principle is still the same
Treatment baths
Treatment work rooms
Since time eternal, mankind has trusted in the cleansing and relaxing power of water.
Basically, nothing has changed. Even now, our treatment rooms, equipped with cutting edge technology, rely on the power of water.
Example: St. Bonifatius Centre
for the Elderly in Hamm
Within the framework of our complete furnishing solution, we supplied a modern
treatment bath embedded within a friendly
colour scheme, transforming it into a bath
that soothes and relaxes.
Selected products for care rooms
Appealing to the senses
Ergonomics and functionality
Our modern bath hoists and electric
height-adjustable baths smooth the way
between bed and tub, ensuring a feeling of
perfect safety. To appeal to all the senses
and provide enhanced comfort, we also
offer a wide range of complementary bath
products:
We make sure that all devices are easy
to use and easily accessible. In treatment
work rooms we arrange the layout of dishwashers, cupboards, sinks and handbasins
to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Innovative bedpan washers enable fast,

Behind the scenes
Your hidden strengths
Laundries, kitchens and staff rooms
Whatever type of facilities your institution offers, everything is dependent on the
work done behind the scenes – in laundries, kitchens and staff rooms. For it is
here, unseen by visitors or residents, that your staff work, communicate and relax,
all of which is essential for everything to operate smoothly.

and staff rooms
Planning canteens and laundries
High outfitting standard
To enable optimum operation in complex
work areas, we analyse all the relevant
work processes and capacity requirements
up front with the house manager or services manager and draw up a profitability
analysis. In this phase, decisions are made,
such as whether an in-house laundry is
worthwhile and whether sanitary separators are necessary.
In the case of machinery, we supply only
the most robust industrial systems, which
offer impressive levels of durability, highquality materials and modern features.
Once installation is complete, we then offer
on-site instruction for your staff, demonstrating the safe and effective operation of the
devices.
We then draw up machine installation
plans for the planner or architect so that
they can carry out the pre-installations.

from project to project. This is only possible on the basis of an in-depth understanding of hospital-specific procedures.
Example: RPTC, Munich
At the RPTC Munich (Rinecker Proton
Therapy Center), we were able to demonstrate our experience with built-in medical
furniture. This included sheet steel and
stainless steel fittings, built-in furniture
made of laminated wood, and also cuttingedge cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation
systems.

Service and Maintenance
Your protection against unwelcome surprises
Maintenance
Medical devices
Regular inspections and maintenance are absolutely essential with medical and technical
products and devices. The primary aim is not just compliance with regulations and statutory
requirements, but also to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of residents and staff.
The fact that this also maintains the value of the products and reduces downtimes is, of
course, a welcome side-effect.
Mobile equipment
An example of effective partnership
15 years ago, we supplied the evangelical
nursing home in Ebenhausen with our products. The home now entrusts WIBU with
the expert maintenance of its care beds
and medical products.
Complex demands
Germany’s Medical Devices Law (MPG),
Medical Device Directive (MPBetreibV),
Safety Regulations (UVV/BGV) – the statutory requirements for maintenance and
inspections are numerous and complicated. It requires considerable resources
to keep abreast of everything, especially
when you already have a demanding daily
routine. So it makes sense to leave this
job to WIBU. When you take out a maintenance agreement, we ensure that all test
dates for your medical devices are adhered to.
Our services for a wide range of brand
name medical products and care beds
include the following:
Stocktaking and legally secure
device and test documentation
Commissioning tests, functional checks
and repeat inspections
Servicing, maintenance and repairs
Conversion/upgrading of care beds
Safety checks
Metrological inspections
All tests are carried out by authorised technicians, with WIBU acting as the certified
contract party.

home in Unterschleissheim.
