Overview

Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Porta Westfalica, PORTA is one of Germany’s largest home & living retailers. The group runs large‑format porta Möbel stores nationwide, complements its footprint with value‑oriented SB‑Möbel Boss in Germany, and operates under the ASKO banner in the Czech Republic and Slovakia - combining strong regional coverage with a mature online shop.

The assortment depth spans living, dining, bedroom and kitchen, often as coordinated room concepts. The Product data typically requires precise dimensions, materials, set logic and assembly details.

For brands and manufacturers, this translates into clear attribute standards, reliable GTIN/variant handling and predictable onboarding - solid fundamentals for scalable, high‑quality listings.

Fees & commissions

Seller fees on PORTA are generally structured without monthly or cash fees, offering sellers a cost-effective platform.

Obi does not publicly list fixed seller fees. Terms such as margin models, listing fees, and promotional costs are typically negotiated individually with suppliers and set during onboarding.

Factors that may influence the commercial model:

Product category and competitiveness
Supply model (direct delivery vs. via warehouse)
Service level agreements (SLAs) and return handling

For accurate cost details, brands should contact the PORTA purchasing department or their assigned category manager.
