Häcker Küchen: German Engineering, Built for a Lifetime
Since 1898, Häcker has been quietly redefining what a fitted kitchen can be. What began as a small joinery workshop founded by Hermann Häcker in Rödinghausen, East Westphalia, has grown into one of Germany's leading kitchen manufacturers, still family-owned and still headquartered in the same region — the heart of the German kitchen furniture industry.
That heritage matters. Over five generations, the Häcker family has built a company defined not by fleeting trends, but by consistency, innovation, and responsibility passed down across generations, with every kitchen developed and manufactured in Germany to an uncompromising standard of functionality, durability, and detail.
Scale Without Compromise
Today, Häcker operates from five factories across more than 223,500 square metres of production space, giving it the capacity and precision to produce kitchens to exacting tolerances at scale. The company employs more than 2,000 people and generated sales of €786 million in 2022, exporting to over 60 countries — proof that German rigour and craftsmanship travel well.
Sustainability Isn't a Marketing Line
Häcker was among the early movers on sustainable manufacturing in the kitchen industry: achieving full carbon neutrality by 2019, followed by Carb II compliance a year later, and producing formaldehyde-free cabinetry as standard. For customers who care as much about what's in their kitchen as what it looks like, that's a meaningful difference.
The Product Range
Häcker's portfolio spans the classic, concept130 and systemat lines, alongside the Blaupunkt brand for built-in appliances — giving customers a genuine spread from timeless shaker and in-frame styles through to sharp, handleless contemporary design, all engineered to the same underlying standard.
