About Us
The best ideas come in the kitchen!
Our story begins with a gift: a fresh, homemade loaf of bread that inventor and founder Sebastian receives from his aunt. It's delicious—and very difficult to slice into halfway thin slices.
The idea for a small pressure board – later called a "shield" – was born. A prototype quickly became a popular kitchen tool among friends. And so the decision was made to produce and sell the cutting board, now dubbed the "mill board," ourselves. The best ideas, after all, come from the kitchen – even if the study occasionally became a workshop.
From Westphalia to the world
We now ship to 17 countries around the globe—from Europe to the USA and Canada, from Chile to South Korea. To meet increasing demand, we are now supported in production by family businesses in Poland who share our passion for quality and care. From there, the finished boards go directly to our warehouse and on to our customers worldwide.
Tradition meets craftsmanship. Made for your kitchen.
Our mill boards are made in small factories from sustainably sourced wood – with care, passion, and attention to detail. Each board is unique and combines functionality with timeless design. Instead of mass-produced items, we offer long-lasting companions that enhance your kitchen and make cooking a special experience.

100% craftsmanship
Your millboard is created in cooperation with small family businesses – made from FSC-certified beech wood, precisely processed and refined with food-safe hard wax oil. Each board is carefully checked before it is sent to the warehouse and from there directly to you.
100% Consciously Made
We rely on sustainable materials and short delivery routes: Our wood comes from responsible forestry, our packaging is plastic-free, and shipping is efficient and direct. This results in a product that is well thought out – both ecologically and functionally.
100% Independent Energy
Our manufacturing partners share our commitment to quality and care – and also rely on renewable energy. Where possible, the electricity comes from their own photovoltaic systems. Because for us, good craftsmanship and environmental protection go hand in hand.

Who we are – and why the Mühlenbrett exists
From the kitchen. For everyday use. With real functionality.
The Mühlenbrett wasn't born from a desk-bound idea – but from real-life kitchen experiences. As passionate hobby cooks and family people, we've experienced firsthand how impractical conventional cutting boards often are: either too light, too slippery, too large, or simply unwieldy. Above all, however: not well-thought-out.
We wanted a board that not only looks good – but that really helps. One that takes work off your hands. That is safer, more precise, more efficient. And so we developed it ourselves – out of real need, with attention to detail and the goal of making the kitchen a little bit better.
Mühlenbrett stands for durable kitchen products that combine design and everyday practicality. For solutions that are not only functional but also beautiful – understated, clear and stylish.
Handmade in Germany – fair, local and sustainable.
Each board is manufactured in Westphalian workshops. We work exclusively with wood from the region – FSC-certified, from sustainable forestry. Production uses green electricity, packaging is made from recycled materials, and shipping is plastic-free.
What matters to us: short supply chains, fair conditions and products that can be used with a clear conscience.
A team that is passionate about quality.
Behind Mühlenbrett are designers, carpenters, tinkerers and everyday practitioners. We are united by a passion for good craftsmanship - and the desire to make things better. We test every detail ourselves, improve what is not optimal, and listen carefully when customers give feedback.
Because good design doesn't come from gut feeling – but from many small iterations, constant refinement and a willingness to think new.
Our mission: Kitchen products that really help.
We don't develop for the cupboard – but for everyday life. For people who enjoy cooking. Who appreciate good products. Who are looking for functionality without compromising on style.
The milling board is our first product – but certainly not our last. Because we believe: There are still many kitchen helpers that could be better. And that's exactly what we're working on.
Transparency that stays.
We show where our materials come from. How they are produced. Who is behind it. We believe in products where everything is right – not just the design, but also the path to it.
Conclusion:
Mühlenbrett stands for honest products, thoughtful design and sustainable manufacturing. For kitchens where function meets aesthetics. For people who shop consciously – and appreciate real quality.
Those who know us know: We don't do things halfway.
