Hettich India inaugurated its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The new 25,700 sq. metre plant, located within Hettich's 103,039 sq. metre Indore facility, will manufacture the technologically advanced undermount drawer runners - precision-engineered concealed sliding systems. These runners are widely preferred in premium furniture and modular kitchens for their durability, load-bearing capacity and seamless soft-close performance. The facility will cater to the rapidly growing demand in India and key global markets.

The Indore facility produces a wide range of premium furniture fittings including hinges, sliding profiles, aluminium profiles, SL 16+ systems and Cube Plus systems, making it one of Hettich's most significant manufacturing locations globally. Designed as a highly automated, world-class manufacturing facility, the new plant is equipped with German-engineered machinery and advanced roll-forming technology to ensure consistent product quality aligned with the company's global standards. The facility also integrates sustainability initiatives such as rainwater harvesting, solar power installations and a zero liquid discharge system.

Speaking on the development Andre Eckholt, Managing Director, Hettich India, SAARC, Middle East & Africa, said: "As we complete 25 years of Hettich's operations in India, the inauguration of our new plant in Indore, Madhya Pradesh marks another significant milestone in our growth journey. With an overall investment of over ₹2000 crore and a continued focus on BIS-certified manufacturing, we are reinforcing our Built to Lead commitment while steadily expanding our Made in India portfolio.

The growing domestic and international demand for undermount drawer runners validates our strategic direction. As an industry leader, we remain firmly focused on anticipating market trends and proactively preparing to meet the evolving needs of our customers and partners. Furthermore, our strong emphasis on local manufacturing enables us to build a resilient supply chain while delivering greater cost competitiveness and faster market responsiveness."

Eckholt maintains that India is central to their long-term global strategy. With Hettich's scale of operations, technological leadership, and continued investments, the furniture fittings brand is building a strong foundation for future expansion while reinforcing a key vision - 'Made in India, Made for the World'.

India has emerged as Hettich's second-largest market globally and an increasingly important production base serving markets across SAARC, the Middle East, Europe and China. The new facility further strengthens the company's ability to scale manufacturing in India while supporting future export growth and global supply chain integration.
