New trends in furniture handles
Not only are copper and matt black great for making statements on furniture: extending its lineup, Hettich has added new on trend surfaces and shapes for handles, knobs or coatracks. Furniture handles and knobs as well as coatracks are now available in the new on trend colours of brushed matt gold, rosé, brushed brown, brushed copper and matt black - not only in traditional styles but also catering to individual tastes.

Quiet closing for RTA furniture too
"Pimp up my furniture" – with immediate effect, Hettich is also offering roller runners with integrated soft closing for more convenience in the ready to assemble furniture segment. They can either be used to replace faulty roller runners without soft closing function or for upgrading existing furniture at any later date.
 
Veosys – the outdoor concealed hinge
Hettich now also offers a concealed hinge for outdoors. The Veosys stainless steel hinge, for example, can be used for outdoor kitchens, and defies damp, cold and hot conditions: integrated soft closing at the same time provides the customary level of practical convenience. Doors both large and small always close gently and reliably in any weather.

InnoTech Atira – order preassembled drawers direct
Looking for new drawer? Hettich now also offers its tried and tested InnoTech Atira drawer system as a preassembled drawer in the DIY segment. Consumers can easily put together the drawer of their choice in the DIY online shop. Because all components within the platform can easily be combined with each other. This way, you select the drawer runner with integrated soft closing function or with push to open, rear panel heights of 70 mm for drawers or 144 mm for pot-and-pan drawers, and the cabinet body width in 400, 500 or 600 mm. Hettich delivers the drawers in ready assembled form to the consumer direct - they only have to make a separate order for their fronts.

Industrial Pipe: creative furniture design with an industrial look
Hettich's "Industrial Pipe" product range provides the capability of constructing hallway units, tables, doors, shelving, bottle holders and much more besides in a trendy industrial look. The "Industrial Pipe" system consists of several pipe lengths and various connectors that can be combined in all sorts of different ways: the connectors not only permit right angled connections but also T connections or 4-way connections. The novel wall hooks are a real eye catcher: the stylised tap, the pressure gauge or the valve perfectly complement the industrial look on the DIY designer-style piece. The robust, black design of the "Industrial Pipe" product range harmonises well with warm wood tones and concrete look.

Sustainable packaging for Hettich Do-It-Yourself
Acting today – with a thought for tomorrow! The Hettich Group has been committed to operating a sustainable corporate policy for many decades. As a family business, it aims to act sustainably in a global environment with the aim of linking business success with environmental and social responsibility.

The company's "Hettich Do-It-Yourself" segment also helps to do this with its activities, such as gradually introducing sustainable retail packaging. Some of Hettich's packaging is made from recycled materials even now. Over the next few years, this is where the company aims to reach the 100% mark and also increase the percentage of loose goods for the DIY segment.
