Whether it’s cabinet connectors, shelf supports or shelf connectors, panel connectors or back panel connectors – as a developer and manufacturer of furniture connectors, Häfele is simply unmistakable. That’s because the company not only has generations of experience under its belt, but also pools all the necessary expertise under one roof. This ranges from highly qualified expertise, modern production facilities and manufacturing processes to innovative material technologies and efficient logistics systems.

For decades now, Häfele has been monitoring the global market intensively and collaborating with its international partners from the furniture industry on future-orientated solutions. The company develops, manufactures and optimises high-performance furniture connectors according to customer requirements – both efficiently and in a customised manner. With its extensive knowledge of materials, production processes and application techniques, Häfele works with its customers to develop solutions that are always tailored to the furniture quality and production method. This actively reduces process and production costs.

The latest member of the Häfele Ixconnect connector family is the universal connector UC 16/64, which impresses with its sophisticated, resource-saving design. This compact all-rounder brings together a surprising number of furniture connector variants into a single product and can therefore be used flexibly in a wide variety of installation situations. Whether it’s used as a single-piece corner connector, or used for corner applications, for panel mounting or as a traditional connecting bracket: it is multifunctional, as you can create countless stable connections with it, depending on how you combine two or even more of these sophisticated connectors. This also reduces the amount of stock that needs to be held. What’s more, with the UC 16/64 universal connector, assembly teams will be ideally prepared for any situation while saving space and weight in the vehicle.

As part of its “Service+ Customised” offering, Häfele designs and produces customised bag and cardboard packaging for furniture connectors, but also for complete furniture production units. Häfele is able to package almost any number of pieces, any composition and any format. Be it fittings bags, “bag in bag” packaging, “bag in cardboard” packaging, cardboard packaging or special packaging – Häfele develops customised packaging solutions in close cooperation with its customers, thereby creating real added value for industrial and artisanal furniture production. That’s because components that are delivered ready to use end up simplifying the entire production process.
