USA - At the annual supplier evaluation by Steelcase, Grand Rapids, USA, in April 2022, the Hettich Group received the "Premier Supplier" award for the third time in a row.

Steelcase, a multinational manufacturer of office furniture and space solutions, has approximately 11,700 employees and over 800 dealers worldwide. With its "Premier Supplier" award, the company recognizes the exceptional performance and special commitment of its suppliers. Hettich has received an award from Steelcase several times in the more than 20-year business relationship. The Hettich Group supplies the European Steelcase production plants in the Czech Republic and Spain. The main sales drivers are the Sytema Top 2000 drawer system and the SlideLine 55 Plus sliding door system.

"Hand in hand, we have been working with Steelcase for over two decades, and we are always keen to live up to our good reputation. Our greatest challenge last year was to give Steelcase a reliable delivery timeline of four days – and do so despite COVID, despite tense supply chains and despite the poor availability of raw materials such as steel. My thanks go to all colleagues at Hettich who all pulled together and managed to meet the brief with such efficiency and resolve,” Karlheinz Deutsch, Key Account Manager for Steelcase at Hettich, said in a statement.
