Nobia was founded in 1996 by Industri Kapital (IK) through a buyout from STORA.[3] The company's headquarters are in Stockholm, on whose stock exchange the sharebolag is listed. Nobia's major regional, national and international brands are present in many European countries. The company specializes in custom built-in kitchens and generates part of its revenue through franchising. In 2003, there was a legal dispute between Nobia and the German kitchen manufacturer Nobilia due to the likelihood of confusion between the two names.[4][5]

Since 2019, Jon Sintorn has been the CEO and Group President.[6]
