Häfele – Why being both a manufacturer and distributor matters W
hen it comes to ensuring you can access the highest quality products
making the products for your projects and delivering them where they’re needed, we help keep the kitchen industry moving smoothly, from factory floor to finished install. Our manufacturing heritage is rooted in innovation, with a strong focus on solving real- world industry challenges. Whether it’s speeding up the work of cabinetmakers or enabling new design possibilities for kitchen showrooms, our priority is designing purposeful, intelligent products. Launched in 1983, one of our most iconic innovations is the Minifix connector system, offering a fast, secure and concealed connection using a hemispherical head based on a centric ball principle. That same spirit of intelligent problem- solving continues today through much of what we do, including our Service+ Customised offering. Whether it’s handmade wooden drawers or cut- to-order lighting, Service+ enables designers and installers to specify products to exact sizes, finishes and quantities. Through these services, products arrive on site cut to precise measurements and pre-assembled as required. Being amanufacturer allows us to control thematerials, processes and innovation necessary to help elevate your designs. As a distributor, we’ve built strong partnerships
with leading brands to act as a one-stop-shop for the kitchen industry. From appliances by Samsung, Smeg, Rangemaster and Hoover Candy, to sliding door systems by Hawa, we offer one of the most comprehensive product ranges on the market. These relationships also allow us to leverage additional benefits, like our 48-hour delivery on Samsung and Smeg appliances. This quick turnaround not only helps you meet tight
deadlines, but gives us insights into buying trends, so we can shape our stock profile to better serve your needs. Meanwhile, our new partnership with two of the kitchen industry’s most established CAD platforms, ArtiCAD andWinnerFlex, helps designers streamline their workflow, reduce duplication and deliver a complete design experience in one place. We’re so committed to our role as a distributor,
that in 2024, we invested in a £5m warehouse shuttle system, boosting stock capacity and enabling our ‘order by 5pm for next day delivery’ promise, ensuring you receive products whenever and wherever you need them.
Being both a manufacturer and distributor gives
us a unique, holistic view of themarket, with both roles feeding into one another. We don’t only make and deliver the products for your projects; we spot emerging trends and develop new solutions and services to align with that, making us the perfect partner to meet the evolving needs of your business.
