GERMANY - From 17 to 23 September Häcker Küchen will present its new products at this year’s in-house show in an entirely new exhibition with the motto “living spaces”. The exhibition will demonstrate how Häcker’s units can be individually and conveniently arranged to furnish a wide variety of living spaces, not just kitchens. The in-house show will take place at the company’s headquarters in Rödinghausen. 

With its motto “living spaces”, Häcker Küchen is documenting just how flexibly its furniture can be used, and how both visually and functionally it offers an ideal solution even outside the kitchen. To design this furniture as individually and flexibly as possible so as to open up a variety of planning possibilities, Häcker Küchen attaches great importance to diversity of materials, colors and surfaces. This year alone the manufacturer’s range of products is being expanded to include nearly 50 new front panels in the classic/classicART and systemat/systematART product lines.

As well as presenting complete room concepts, the trendsetter will also be dealing closely with the theme of international variations, displaying a wide range of new colors, functions and surfaces, and showing new product additions to its own built-in appliance brand, Blaupunkt. Six booths, each themed for a different country, will display various style collections furnished exclusively with cabinets by Häcker Küchen. The booths will not only demonstrate the wide variety of ways in which the kitchen space can be interpreted – something which is invariably shaped by the cultural background – but will also showcase the whole range of possible uses for Häcker’s kitchen furniture.

The owner-run family company has been manufacturing modern fitted kitchens at its site in Rödinghausen, eastern Westphalia – the center of the German kitchen furniture industry – since 1965. In 2015, more than 1,300 employees generated a turnover of 466 million euros; the export share is currently around 38 per cent. The specialist trade has two product lines available for the various market segments: the entry-level classic and classicART, and the systemat and systematART ranges for the middle and upper price segments. The product range is complemented by a wide selection of built-in appliances under the Blaupunkt brand, for which Häcker Küchen holds the exclusive rights.
