Hafele Training Centers

Training forms the basis of growth; and effective training requires the right environment to achieve the best possible results. Häfele India has given crucial importance to training over the last few years with a dedicated Training Division in place to take care of all internal as well as external training requirements. The core objective of this division is to provide ‘focused’ training on different product groups in a state-of-the-art environment that facilitates theoretical as well as practical learning. These training-conducive environments are created within methodically designed Training Centers that are equipped with all the necessary tools and hardware. These centers are strategically located in close proximity to word-working machinery manufacturers who entertain constant footfalls from OEM’s – one of Hafele’s most important customer segments.

Currently, Häfele has two Training Centers in Bangalore and Mumbai respectively. These centers facilitate trainings related to building product awareness, understanding product features and enabling product installations. While the 1200 sq ft Bangalore center has been up and operational since a year now, the Mumbai training center, spread over 1000 sq ft, has been recently established. Häfele prefers to conduct most of its training sessions at these training centers to provide the perfect mix of theoretical product knowledge as well as opportunities for actual implementation. The trainings are held for internal (including Hafele employees, Hafele dealers and Hafele carpenters) as well as external groups.

Häfele is in the process of taking this training initiative to another level with plans to establish such state-of-the-art training centers in different parts of the country with immediate efforts directed towards opening one in Delhi and Kolkata each, by the end of this year. The Training Division has benchmarked the overall performance of the company’s sales force as well as other departments to measure the training competency of these centers and have chalked out an on-going plan to constantly upgrade the equipment and modules to pace up with the industry trends.
