About

Nella Cutlery specializes in professional knife sharpening and cutting board resurfacing, catering to chefs, butchers, and food manufacturers, ensuring optimal kitchen efficiency and hygiene across their operations. Nella Cutlery offers professional knife sharpening and cutting board resurfacing services. The company was founded in 1901 and is headquartered in London, UK. In June 2016, Cozzini Brothers, a portfolio company of Audax Private Equity, acquired Nella Cutlery.


The founder's history is not publicly available. Nella Cutlery Services specializes in professional knife sharpening and cutting board resurfacing, catering primarily to chefs, cooks, butchers, and food manufacturers across the UK. Their core offerings include a knife supply service that delivers quality, hand-sharpened, colour-coded knives tailored to the specific needs of commercial kitchens. Additionally, the company provides a chopping board resurfacing service, which allows clients to exchange worn boards for freshly resurfaced duplicates at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new ones.


This service aims to enhance kitchen hygiene, reduce waste disposal costs, and maintain operational efficiency by minimizing downtime. Nella's clientele spans a wide geographical range within the UK, supporting over 40,000 customers who rely on their services to keep their culinary operations running smoothly. Nella Cutlery Services operates a revenue model based on regular transactions with a diverse client base, encompassing both subscriptions and direct service agreements. Clients engage the company for routine knife replacement and sharpening services, which are delivered weekly, ensuring that their kitchen equipment remains in optimal condition.


The pricing structure is designed to facilitate easy financial management for businesses, with options for cash-on-delivery or account payment terms. The company’s knife sharpening and board resurfacing services, which are critical to its brand identity, allow for predictable revenue streams through recurring orders. By focusing on B2B client relationships, Nella Cutlery Services effectively positions itself within the commercial kitchen supply market, enhancing both service quality and customer satisfaction. Nella Cutlery plans to expand its market reach and enhance its service offerings following its acquisition by Cozzini Brothers in June 2016.


While specific new products and services are currently not disclosed, the company intends to leverage recent funding to strategize for market expansion and potentially diversify its product line. The targeted expansions include reaching new geographical areas beyond the UK, although specific regions and timelines remain unspecified.
