OUR DEVELOPMENT

Beginnings and First milestones.

The current company headquarters were built in an industrial estate back in 1989 – a significant milestone for the expansion of production and logistics. Just one year later, in 1990, Oliver Nüske joined the company and made a significant contribution to its further development and professionalisation.

The first customer

1984 – Where it all began

This image shows the wash hall wall of our first customer – Brinkmann of Geesthacht. This collaboration laid the foundation for the success story of U.N. Produkte GmbH in our founding year of 1984. A first business relationship developed into a trusting partnership that continues to this day. We are particularly proud to have been supplying Brinkmann for over four decades, demonstrating that quality, reliability, and personal commitment are the basis for long-term customer relationships.

1988 – The Foundation Stone for the Future

The launch of our current company site in 1988 marked a significant milestone in the history of U.N. Produkte GmbH. Shortly thereafter, in 1990, Oliver Nüske joined the family business and began actively shaping the future together with his father, Udo Nüske, who had founded the company back in 1984.

What began with a clear vision and a great deal of personal commitment gradually developed into a successful company with an international focus. The company headquarters represent the entrepreneurial spirit, innovative strength, and family cohesion that have always distinguished U.N. Produkte to this day.

1988 – A Partnership Across Generations

This image shows a demonstration of our concrete cleaner U.N. 150/6 on a ready-mix truck from HTB of Soltau. We have had the pleasure of supplying HTB with our products since 1988 – a longstanding collaboration that we look back on with great pride. Such partnerships are not formed overnight but grow through trust, quality, and personal service. We are filled with great gratitude that HTB remains one of our valued customers to this day. We look forward to continuing this shared journey for many decades to come.

1990 – Partnerships that endure

This image shows a product demonstration of our U.N. cleaning agents at the then company Rethmann Entsorgung in Gifhorn. Even back then, close collaboration with our customers was at the heart of what we did – with personal advice and practical solutions directly on-site. We are particularly pleased that this successful partnership continues to this day: Rethmann became today's Remondis Gifhorn, who remains one of our valued customers decades later. 

A fine example that trust, quality and reliability are the best foundations for a long-term collaboration.

Trust connects.

2004 – Enthusiasm from an early age

From a young age, a fascination with ships, technology, and cleaning chemicals was an integral part of our family life. The picture shows Nico Nüske in front of a huge ship engine – a moment that symbolises his early interest in the family business. Over the years, childlike curiosity developed into a genuine passion that continues to shape the future of U.N. Produkte GmbH today. Because at our company, the entrepreneurial spirit is not just passed on – it is lived from generation to generation.
