GERMANY – Häcker Kitchens has recently purchased two plots of land. In the medium-term, the company intends to build new factories on these sites in order to expand its production capacities to the level necessary for the coming decades. The purchasing sum is the biggest investment in the history of the company so far.

The new plots of land are close to the company head office in Rödinghausen, eastern Westphalia. The first plot with around 165,000 square meters is located to the south close to Hansastrasse (L557, Herford district, eastern Westphalia, North-Rhine Westphalia) between the company’s current main site and the A30. Häcker Kitchens has managed to acquire around two thirds of the industrial park currently being planned there. The second plot, which measures around 215,000 square meters, is located in a new industrial park in Venne (Osnabrück District, Lower Saxony) on the B218.

More than 900 bespoke kitchens for customers from around the world leave the factory at the company’s main production site in Rödinghausen every day. The high quality kitchens are produced and sold by the over 1,450 employees which the company currently employs at its four factories and offices. Together, they generated a turnover of EUR 512 million last year. The successful result is due to a growth strategy with a long-term focus: In the past two years, Häcker Kitchens grew its turnover by 100 million euros and increased its workforce by 300 employees, which has led to investments into production facility and office extensions. The final construction stage of an extension to the office and showroom building and the construction of adjacent parking spaces will be completed this year.
