Studio Europa Leicht Celebrates 20 Years in Business and 10 Years as San Diego's Leicht Dealer, San Diego, CA

    SAN DIEGO, CA, June 24, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Studio Europa LEICHT is celebrating 20 years in business and 10 years as San Diego's exclusive LEICHT European cabinet dealer. In 2001, Founders Eva Clemens and Markus Zaugg met while working on a mutual remodeling project, quickly saw each other's talents, and combined forces.

Eva and Markus are a perfect combination of talents: Eva with a BA in Interior Design, Markus with a general contractor's license and prior cabinetry installation business, and both skilled Swiss cabinetmakers. Clients and designers with woodworking projects quickly turned to their services, and soon they were able to buy a building and set up shop in Lemon Grove.

In 2011 Studio Europa pivoted their business model away from custom woodworking, choosing instead to represent Germany's premier cabinet manufacturer, LEICHT. They were awarded exclusive dealership rights in San Diego and opened their 1st LEICHT showroom, a modest 450 sq. ft. space, which quickly became one of the top selling LEICHT showrooms in the world.

Over the years they added employees; first, exchange-workers from Switzerland who worked as cabinetmakers in the US for 18 months under a cultural exchange program. As the company grew and took more general contracting jobs, they added a bookkeeper and project coordinator. Today they employ a staff of seven and the business is thriving.

In 2018, Eva and Markus opened their second LEICHT showroom located at 2064 Kettner Blvd, in the heart of San Diego's vibrant Little Italy District. It features the latest kitchen and home concepts from LEICHT along with premium appliances from Miele, Gaggenau, Bosch, Thermador.

Co-Founder and President, Markus Zaugg remarked: "It's hard to believe it has been 20 years since we founded Studio Europa, Inc. This is an incredible achievement for any company. We owe our success to the talent and dedication of our team members, common values of quality, responsibility, honesty, reliability, and being on time like a Swiss watch."

They chose the company name purposefully; 'Studio' to convey craftsmanship and a personal touch, and 'Europa' to honor their Swiss heritage. "You can take the woodworker out of Switzerland, but you can't take the Swiss out of a woodworker!" said Eva. She added, "We love what we do and we invite homeowners, developers and designers to come by and be inspired by our extensive kitchen collection and full range of supporting services."
