Häfele worldwide

With its origin from the Swabian (Germany) region that nurses a passion for hardware technology, it is no surprise that Häfele has lived up to its roots through a successful presence in the architectural and furniture hardware industry for 88 years now. Today, Häfele’s worldwide penetration includes 39 subsidiaries across Europe, America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to this it has 9 sales offices in other countries. The Häfele headquarters, 5 manufacturing units and 10 sales offices are located within Germany. The company also owns one of the largest and most sophisticated warehouses in its home country. The Häfele worldwide workforce is empowered by a base of 5600 employees. The group services over 150,000 customers across the globe through its extensive range of hardware products and a comprehensive logistics system. In addition to this, Häfele also provides consultative services to its customers, educating and advising them about buying the correct hardware as per their requirements. With this level of market penetration and ability to handle worldwide demand, it comes as no surprise that the company makes about 6000 crores of turnover; what is pleasantly surprising, though, is that in spite of its size, Häfele still remains a family owned and run business with a unique and informal culture.

Thirty percent of Häfele’s products are manufactured at their 5 factories in Germany. In addition to this the group is constantly involved in developing and designing Häfele specific products and has them produced by manufacturing partners under the Häfele brand name and logo.
