Kuno Höhne e.K.

Kuno Höhne e.K., trading as Höhne Bürotechnik, is a German office technology and office equipment retailer based in Hof (Saale) in Bavaria. According to its own website, the firm has been active in the fields of office machines and office furnishings since 1960, making it a long-established local specialist in the region. The business is operated as an eingetragener Kaufmann (e.K.), a German sole-proprietorship form, and is represented by Kuno Höhne himself, whose name also serves as the registered company name. The company's core activity is the sale and support of office technology: computers, printers, telephone systems and related IT and communications equipment, alongside office furniture and office fittings. Its stated approach is consultative rather than off-the-shelf: the website emphasises that it does not sell "von der Stange" (standard, off-the-rack products) but instead advises customers individually and matches solutions to their specific requirements. This positions Höhne Bürotechnik as a local full-service partner for small and medium-sized businesses, offices and private customers in and around Hof. Höhne Bürotechnik operates through multiple channels. It maintains a physical store at Wörthstraße 14 in Hof, where free parking is available, and it also sells online — both through its own online shop and via eBay, which the company describes as a multi-channel setup. The firm offers extended protection for IT and telephone equipment through a cooperation with WERTGARANTIE, a German warranty provider; this "Komplettschutz" covers damage such as drops, liquid spills into keyboards, short circuits and power surges that fall outside statutory warranty or manufacturer guarantees. The company is small and owner-managed, with contact details published directly on its website (telephone 09281/16631, fax, and email). Its Impressum identifies Kuno Höhne e.K. as the operator of both the website and the shop, with a German VAT identification number. The business is not part of a larger corporate group and is not publicly listed. Its long history since 1960 and its continued presence in Hof make it a durable example of a regional German office-supply specialist that has adapted from classic office machines to modern IT, telecommunications and multi-channel retail.

Kuno Höhne e.K., operating under the name Höhne Bürotechnik, traces its origins to 1960, when the firm began its activity in Hof (Saale) in the fields of office machines and office furnishings. This makes it one of the longer-standing office-equipment businesses in the Bavarian town of Hof, near the Czech border. The company was established as, and remains, an eingetragener Kaufmann (e.K.) — a German sole proprietorship registered in the commercial register — and is represented by Kuno Höhne, whose name is also the registered company name. Over the decades the business evolved with the office-technology market. Where classic office machines and office furniture were the original focus, the company's modern profile centres on computers, printers, telephone systems and broader IT and communications equipment, alongside continued office furniture and fittings. This shift mirrors the broader transformation of the German office-supply trade from mechanical office equipment to digital IT and telecommunications. By the 2020s the firm had adopted a multi-channel model. It operates a physical store at Wörthstraße 14 in Hof, with free parking for customers, and sells through its own online shop as well as via eBay. The company describes itself as a "Multi Channel Unternehmen" and emphasises fast, straightforward processing of orders. It also offers extended equipment protection in cooperation with WERTGARANTIE, covering accidental damage to IT and telephone equipment that is no longer covered by statutory warranty or manufacturer guarantee. The business remains owner-managed and independent, not part of a larger group and not publicly listed. Its website and Impressum identify Kuno Höhne e.K. as the operator of both the website and the shop, with a German VAT identification number (DE 815470507). The company continues to position itself as a local partner offering individual advice rather than standard off-the-shelf products, serving customers in Hof and the surrounding region.
