Here at Kitchen Mania we’re passionate about producing top kitchen products to complement the contemporary New Zealand home, and it shows. All of our kitchen cabinets and joinery is produced right here in Auckland to our exacting standards at our modern factory facility in Mt Wellington.
We use the latest manufacturing methods and quality materials and fittings so that our kitchens not only look good but are built to last. We love what we do, and we know you’ll love our kitchens too.
Located in Christchurch, Kitchen Concepts designs, manufactures and installs Kitchens and other household joinery for all of Canterbury.
Building new or renovating your existing property. Kitchen Concepts are the people to trust to do the job right.
"Kitchens are not an impulse buy,” owner Glen Kelman explains, “So we try to make the planning, design and installation experience as pleasant as we can. That’s why we have a kitchen showroom here in Christchurch, and we’re happy to visit any home owner to talk about their kitchen flow, look, and storage.”
With a team of in-house kitchen designers, their own factory manufacturing your custom kitchen, and years of experience managing kitchen projects big and small, Glen and the team at Kitchen Concepts looks forward to helping you create your perfect kitchen.
Woodwork was the only subject that Glen enjoyed at school, so it’s little wonder that his first job was working with kitchen joinery – and he hasn’t looked back.
“There’s nothing better than helping create a kitchen that both works well and looks great,” says the Kitchen Concepts owner. “I didn’t set out to run my own company, and I certainly didn’t see myself as a salesman. Customers just kept turning up and we’d help them out. It’s all grown from that.”
In the early days, Glen’s specialty was installing kitchens. Working as Install Concepts, he fitted hundreds of kitchens for Christchurch homes. Then in July 2019, to better communicate the full-service kitchen company they had become, the Kitchen Concepts brand was unveiled: same company, same team, same level of attention for every project – just a different name.
It’s not unheard of for the Kitchen Concepts team to receive a batch of fresh baking from delighted customers, testing out their new or renovated kitchen.

Whilst being very much design focused, our project team has decades long experience in kitchen construction.
Our projects start with the core principles of form, function, sustainability and energy efficiency, all tailored to suit the client, their needs and location. Our kitchens are constructed in New Zealand by local craftsmen, allowing us to explore an almost limitless range of forms and materials with our clients to ensure their kitchen is individual and appropriate to their lifestyle.
We have a long and enviable history of successful, often complex kitchen projects, and countless satisfied clients, many who have returned to repeat the process on multiple properties.
