Review of the year: Häcker takes stock of its activities in 2023

Rödinghausen. In 2023, Häcker Küchen GmbH & Co. KG generated a turnover of € 726 million. The export share remained stable at 40 %.

Extension of the international trade network
In the last year, Häcker extended its international trade activities. In order to strengthen its presence in the Chinese market, Häcker was able to win an outstanding China expert in Mr Hongyi Cai. In November 2023, Häcker inaugurated its Headquarter North America in Miami. In the showroom, customers can convince themselves on a 350 m2 surface from the high quality of sustainably produced Häcker kitchens, made in Germany.

Increased competence in lacquer
In the last year, the family business enlarged its range of lacquers as well. At the EuroCucina 2022, Häcker introduced the NCS lacquer system into its product line “systemat”, thereby adding over 2,000 colour shades to its program. In 2023, the kitchen manufacturer from Rödinghausen broadened its product range in the product line concept130 by introducing the new direct lacquer front TOP, which has been very well received by the market. It is available in a matte and a shiny finish in the entry-level price range.

„Pure Inspiration“
Not only Häcker’s in-house exhibition “Pure Inspiration”, which attracted almost 6,000 visitors in September, but also its trade show appearances in the “Kitchen & Bath Industry Show” (KBIS) in Las Vegas, the “küchenwohntrends” in Salzburg, the “Hem & Villa” in Stockholm and the “esprit cuisine” in Paris contributed to the consolidation and extension of the manufacturer’s European and transatlantic trade relations.

New focus on living solutions
In the last year, Häcker has significantly extended its range of living room solutions. The new, extended product portfolio with freely configurable wardrobes, sideboards and lowboards focuses on customisable living room design as well as on overarching furnishing solutions that provide the entire home with a harmonious design – from the entrance to the kitchen.

2024: Prospects
Häcker looks to 2024 with confidence. Among the highlights of the year will be the EuroCucina in April, the in-house exhibition in September, as well as the “esprit cuisine” in November. At this year’s in-house exhibition, Häcker will be presenting, in accordance with its two-year product development cycle, innovations in the “systemat” product line in order to provide the specialised trade and end customers with new answers and solutions.

Häcker – The Company
Häcker was founded in 1898 as a cabinetmaker by Hermann Häcker. In 1965, the foundation for today's economic success was laid by the latter’s son-in-law Horst Finkemeier and wife Renate through the serial production of kitchen furniture. As an owner-managed family business, Häcker today produces fitted kitchens for different customers and markets in five factories in Rödinghausen and Venne. Häcker stands for quality, service, reliability, honesty and sustainability. With the concept130 and systemat product lines as well as the Blaupunkt and h│tech brands for built-in kitchen appliances, Häcker offers a comprehensive product portfolio.
