Emanuel Boeminghaus reported that Segmüller will close its branch in downtown Stuttgart, which opened in 1961, at the end of February 2027. The location covers 2,000 square meters and employs five staff members. Furthermore, Managing Director Lennart Wehrmeier announced, according to Boeminghaus, that less staff will be needed in some areas. The reduction should take place as socially compatible as possible and through natural fluctuation. Wehrmeier described 2026 as a difficult year for the furniture industry.
