A good idea
WIBU stands for over 80 years of expertise and experience

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.

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.

Your working environment is extremely multilayered. The products you require do not operate in isolation, but

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.

supported by a coordinated colour
scheme, which is agreed in discussions
with WIBU.

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.
“Residence” guesthouse of the “Starnberg Clinical
Future” health centre.
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
Guest room in students’ hall of residence, Schneepflug
of BFC e.V. Federal Technical College for Business
Studies in the Automotive Industry, Calw.
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.
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.
Special demands on chairs and cabinets
Residents’ and hospital rooms
Nursing and treatment rooms
Hospital rooms
Rooms for the disabled
Student rooms
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.

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.
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
Cafeteria in the Landesversicherungsanstalt
Baden-Württemberg, Karlsruhe
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.
Together with you, we then select the right products within the framework
of your specified budget. Our job is not done until we are sure
that every room creates a feeling of well-being, and that you, the customer,
are completely satisfied.

in Wetzlar.
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.

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
Task-specific furnishing
Therapy room in the Caritas Home for the Elderly,
St. Josef, Fulda.
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.

have a wide range of modern therapy devices, from gymnastics trolleys
through to assistive technology terminals.

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.

Administration rooms
Offices
Conference rooms
Every workplace is unique
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.
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.
Motivation …
... is all about a sense of well-being
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.
No unwelcome surprises
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.
The furnishings are embedded within a
harmonious colour scheme. To give you
an impression of how the complete room
design will look, we provide you with plans
in graphic form. Furthermore, our decoration
expert is happy to draw up suggestions
for an attractive decor and optimum
glare protection

Logistics played a key role during the relocation

The right mix
Enduring qualities
Great furnishing helps make successful events
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.
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.
Auditorium seating at the Munich International
Exhibition Centre
Multifunctionality
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.
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
In an ever-changing world – the principle is still the same
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.
Ergonomics and functionality
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.

Behind the scenes
Your hidden strengths
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.
Planning canteens and laundries
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.
We then draw up machine installation
plans for the planner or architect so that
they can carry out the pre-installations.

High outfitting standard
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.
Functionality and adherence to workplace
regulations are key aspects of our changing
rooms. Rest areas, on the other hand, offer
colourful seating, attractive furniture and
kitchen facilities, as their primary purpose
is to enhance the well-being of your staff.

Hospital furnishing
The furnishing and equipping of hospitals is always an interesting challenge.
It is necessary to meet high technical and organisational demands, which vary
from project to project. This is only possible on the basis of an in-depth understanding
of hospital-specific procedures.
Our services include:
Built-in furniture, made of wood, HPL
laminate or metal, e.g. for sterile areas, nur-
ses’ stations or medication storage rooms
Modular supply concepts
Medical equipment for operating theatres
and outpatients’ clinics, such as dressing
trolleys, medical stools, swivel chairs, treat-
ment couches and instrument tables
Furnishings for hospital rooms, such as
intensive care/hospital beds, seating, built-
in cupboards, medical supply systems and
ceiling pendant systems
Electromedical devices, such as
ECG devices and defibrillators

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.
Selected products for medical facilities
Hospital beds
Purpose-designed
beds that combine
high-tech and comfort.
Stretcher trolleys
For the safe transport
of patients.
Built-in medical
furniture

and logistics in hospitals.

Service and Maintenance
Your protection against unwelcome surprises
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.
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.
