Things of daily life made of wood
In the years that followed, the focus continued to be on carpentry and woodturning and what was needed for daily life and survival, for example, stairs, spinning wheels and scythes.

New furniture designs
Wonder years with a flair for new furniture designs
In the 1960s and 1970s, Niemann produced furniture such as shelves or sideboards in the typical designs of the time, such as kidney tables, buffets and chair frames.
Investments in new operating structure and machinery
Niemann's name soon stands for indiviual variety according to special requirements that are met. Convinced by Niemann's quality, large furniture manufacturers are now among the clientele. They can receive custom-made products in any quantity and do not have to be satisfied with the "off the shelf" offer.
The Niemann company has been successful with this concept and is finally one of the German market leaders in the production of high-quality plastic-coated furniture parts and composites and manufactures front parts and sheet goods. The name Niemann has a steadily growing and sonorous meaning.
Innovation Award Plasma Technology Edge Processing
Plasmatechnik ist ein Verfahren, das die Firma Niemann erfunden, patentiert und einen Innovationspreis erhalten hat. Die mit einer speziellen Funktionsschicht versehenen Kanten werden mit dem Träger verbunden durch große Hitze, die für Sekundenbruchteile in der barcodegesteuerten Kantenmaschine aufblitzt. Das Ergebnis ähnelt der Laser-Technik. Bei ganz ähnlichem Verarbeitungsergebnis ist eine technische Aufrüstung mit diesem System wesentlich günstiger, als eigens eine etwaige Laser-Kantenmaschine anzuschaffen.
Insolvency: Business risk
However, Niemann's unique selling point - the almost proverbial enormous range of products in the finishing of furniture parts - also involves an entrepreneurial risk that is difficult to calculate. A lot of "dead capital" in the form of decors and edgebands was purchased in immense variety and variation possibilities and lay in stock. A financial imbalance arose, which ultimately led to insolvency.
