Häfele is committed to successful cooperation with partners from the industry. Visitors to the trade fair can explore case studies that have already been implemented. For example, the customised assembly of an LED strip light for an Italian kitchen manufacturer, but also, for example, a solution to societal changes: Häfele has worked with a partner to develop flexible living concepts for different generations under one roof.  Visitors to the trade fair stand will be able to experience the extent to which Häfele places the customer’s wishes at the centre of its activities and the many levels on which the company can provide support.“At this year’s interzum, we are taking the next logical step with our purpose: for the first time, we are showcasing a series of completed projects, demonstrating in concrete terms that there is more to us than just product innovations. In fact, the aim is to jointly develop customised, innovative solutions as part of co-creation and co-engineering projects, thereby creating added value and business opportunities for everyone involved,” says Häfele CEO Gregor Riekena.

An impressive example of how Häfele is able to maximise space is the “Dynamic Living” project study, which was presented for the first time at the BAU trade fair in Munich in January. Availability of living space is becoming increasingly scarce, new lifestyles necessitate new offerings. Students, business travellers and digital nomads or singles therefore need living concepts that can be easily adapted to their individual needs. “Dynamic Living” provides the impetus for flexible, sustainable solutions – modular, resource-saving and dynamic. The experimental apartment shows how magnetic sliding technology, clever hardware and fitting systems and sophisticated planning can be combined to flexibly convert 18 square metres of space into 36 usable square metres of living space. Häfele partnered with the companies EGGER, Knauf, Grohe and Kaldewei over the course of the project.

Häfele will be showcasing a host of other holistic concepts from a single source at the trade fair – from innovative hardware solutions and lighting to networking and room planning.For example, various Häfele kitchen concepts will showcase a great deal more than just individual solutions at interzum. These concepts will enable visitors to experience how the full diversity of the Häfele product range can be harmoniously combined. With the Häfele product range, for example, it is possible to optimally coordinate and implement furniture and room lighting.For many people, kitchens are vibrant focal points in their everyday lives. A wide variety of activities take place in one room over the course of a day. Appropriate lighting scenarios make everyday life in the kitchen noticeably more convenient. For example, dimmed light is cast on the coffee machine for your morning coffee. Bright, functional light on the work surfaces is helpful when cooking. Cosy ambient light ensures a feel-good atmosphere in the evening when socialising with friends. There are numerous possible applications to choose from, depending on the situation at hand. Häfele Lighting will be showcasing these options live to the public at the trade fair stand.

Häfele believes in having a clear mindset as part of its purpose. This includes ensuring that the company fulfils its overriding responsibility with regard to the environment, society and the economy.The Dynamics Centre in Nagold is an inspiring place that is also accessible to other companies and business partners. As a family-owned company, Häfele is conscious of its responsibility – and is incorporating it into built spaces: Not far from the company headquarters, a building complex is being constructed at the Wolfsberg in Nagold, which will do more than just provide Häfele with the new logistics and production capacities it needs. With its sustainable construction methods and operations, it also sends out a clear message – in social, ecological and economic terms. Gregor Riekena: “We invite our partners to experience our built purpose at the Dynamics Centre – at the interzum stand and, before long, on site in Nagold, too.

The primary aim of Häfele Plus Services is to ease the burden on the customer’s production operations and thereby increase their efficiency. The support service starts with the transfer of knowledge, assisting Häfele customers with planning, logistics and production through to installation and maintenance, as required. “Service+ Customised” will have its own area as part of the presentation at the trade fair. This service includes the option of conveniently ordering ready-made components for immediate installation in furniture and fittings, as well as the assembly of linear lights, furniture fronts, complete drawers, all-glass doors, the Häfele Slido R-Aluflex sliding door system and bag packaging. With this service, Häfele is making work easier for its partners by assembling components and packaging according to individual customer specifications, from single items through to series production. This optimises the customer’s operating processes, saves valuable production time and storage capacity.

Häfele always keeps the entire space in mind in all its developments. Innovative and target group-orientated solutions underpin a holistic approach. In terms of highlights, Häfele Lighting will be particularly prominent at interzum 2025. With its Nimbus, Connect and Loox ranges, Häfele Lighting has become a pioneer of “Light in furniture” and “Light in rooms” by combining them into an integrated and connected holistic experience. Visitors to the trade fair can look forward to learning about lighting solutions that give space and furniture an atmospheric quality.The ultra-compact fitting solution, Free Slim flap, the brand new designer fitting for flush-fitting sliding systems, Slido F-Flush57, Häfele kitchen appliances from the Assedo range and Häfele’s outstanding connector range will also be on display in separate exhibit areas at the Häfele trade fair stand in Cologne, which covers around 1,500 square metres.
