Häfele in India

Häfele set foot in India in 2001 as a liaison office essentially handling Hospitality projects for its line of Access Control Systems – Dialock. The growing hardware demand and the increasing architectural maturity motivated the company to start full commercial operations in India in 2003 as a wholly owned subsidiary by the name, Häfele India Pvt. Ltd. With its head office in Mumbai, 6 regional offices with Design Centers in all major metros and sales presence across the country, Häfele India has, over the last 8 years, acquired a leading position in the Indian Architectural Hardware Industry. Today, Häfele India employs over 240 people who cater to a wide customer base with the help of an efficient distribution network, comprehensive logistics system and a sophisticated warehouse located in Mumbai. 

Häfele India lays pride in its diverse range of quality products, well-networked channel partners and unmatched service to customers. In addition to this, the subsidiary is the sole distributor in India, since 2004, to BLUM – an Austrian kitchen fittings manufacturer and world leader. The ability of the company to understand the diverse Indian market and adapt to the changing tastes and trends, has made it an authority in the field of architectural hardware, furniture fittings and kitchen fittings and accessories.

With this successful backing and the promise to grow in manifolds, the company is on an expansion mode to meet the ever-growing demands not only from India but also its neighbouring countries. Owing to this, Häfele India has spread its operations to countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and most recently, Sri Lanka. The company has also forayed into related industries by launching independent product verticals namely Kitchens, Appliances, Lights and Sanitary to cater to the focused demands from these industries.
