Schulte is a full-service product development firm and manufacturer specializing in hi-tech products for the workplace and home. Their facilities, located in Ludenscheid, Germany, have been heated by the heat generated from their plastic injection-molding plants since 1980. Schulte's EVOline, a recipient of the 2005 Red Dot award, puts an end to the all too familiar deathtrap of cables and wires under the desk. The cylinder-shaped retractable power strip keeps outlets within easy reach for devices used on a non-permanent basis such as computers and laptops with multimedia interfaces, screens, projectors, lighting and telephones. This means no more hair full of dust bunnies, crawling on all fours, and unplugging the fax machine by accident.

When not in use, the EVOline remains flush with the respective surface and is only visible by its disc top, which is available in a variety of finishes. To attach devices for power, the port elevates from the surface, making all connections visible and easily accessible, then returns to its retracted position to maximize workspace.

The EVOline was initially developed to enable mobile workgroups in companies to have greater comfort and data security and access to power and data without problems. As of today, EVOline has proven itself to serve as an efficient tool in home offices, kitchens, clinical sectors, hotels, and medical facilities as well.
