Made with care

Attention, involvement and perfection

Sustainable, advanced technologies with human skills and attention
The products of Nienhuis USA are made at different production locations in the Netherlands, China and Sri Lanka. Each location has its own specialty. What all production sites have in common is shared commitment to attain high-grade craftsmanship, complete involvement, pursuing perfection and a high dose social responsibility. We combine sustainable, advanced technologies with human skills and attention. We adopt this approach in order to recognize that every child is unique and therefore our products must also be unique!

Nienhuis materials: a unique creation process

One of our specialisms is Montessori education, which places great emphasis on attention, involvement and perfection. These fundamental elements are not just critical to the use of the materials, but also form the basis for their creation. For over 80 years, our Nienhuis products have been produced using these distinctive and traditional methods. We invest a great deal of love into shape, color and character.
