Innovative fitness equipment made of wood
NOHrD & WaterRower - Design Made in Germany WaterRower Ltd. has been a presence in Germany since 1994. In 2005 the NOHrD manufacturing facility emerged at our headquarters in Nordhorn in Lower Saxony - a new center for designing and producing high-quality fitness equipment out of wood. The label NOHrD perseveres in standing for high quality, design and sustainability, with our constant focus on selection of natural and sustainably managed materials.
NOHrD Wooden Fitness Innovations
The name NOHrD is derived from our company’s location: our home is in Northern Germany, whereby the „NOH“ refers to our county Nordhorn and the „D“ for Deutschland, therefore: „Made in Germany“. Each piece of our wooden exercise equipment is handcrafted in our manufacturing facility. The combination of classic handcraft and precision machine technology ensure consistent quality and constant progress. We place high value on respecting our environment, processing all bark and wood completely- there is no waste. Production residue in our facility is used for power generation. We further use our factory’s 2600 sq meter area for producing our own solar electricity, with which we can power our machinery with low-emission efficiency.
Our wood
At NOHrD we manufacture with solid wood exclusively selected from sustainably managed forests in the USA and Germany. Only guaranteed young and smooth heartwood will be processed. The premium quality wooden elements are oiled for protection against dirt and stains. Wood is a natural raw material which can deviate in color and consistency, rendering our products one-of-a-kind status. Solid wood will darken naturally over time. This pertains especially to cherry wood.
Our Leather
All leather used is genuine and hand-worked, originating exclusively in Germany.
- the tanning is „Made in Germany“
- adheres to ISO 9001 (standardized quality system)
- exclusively vegetable tanned / authentic leather scent
- extremely high skin tolerance (unlike chrome leather)
Even high-quality genuine leather may display undesired natural characteristics. There are no hides without blemishes. Often, surface treatments with polyurethane or acrylates are used, which render the leather an unnatural, synthetic look. Our vegetable tanned leather remains largely natural. It will darken slightly, over time.
