Last year too, Hettich was on the road crossing the continent in two vans: over 80,000 kilometres of travel, hundreds of appointments and endless talks with customers and partners from Norway to Italy and from Belgium to Poland demonstrate the unwaning appeal "Hettich on tour" ignites.
After a short winter break, the two vehicles are now venturing out again on a long journey with a product show that's on the cutting edge. Among the products on display in the vans' newly revamped interior, Hettich will be presenting the brand new Novisys hinge family. This highly cost efficient solution is set to fire up the market for soft closing hinges. Because Novisys takes the luxurious feel of integrated soft closing to the mid price segment too. Hettich will, of course, also be presenting its premium, tried and tested Sensys door hinge in an exclusive dark Obsidian colour finish, while featuring a new "Push to open Silent" function. Showcasing the TopLine XL, SlideLine M and Wingline L trio, Hettich will also be demonstrating its particular expertise in sliding and folding door systems. Emotional appeal and top design, all this is promised by the AvanTech YOU drawer platform with "Illumination" LED signature lighting and the Cadro aluminium frame system, also coming with integrated lighting technology. Attracting the prestigious Red Dot and iF design awards, AvanTech YOU Illumination raises the profile of customers operating at design focused, upmarket level in the kitchen and furniture market segments. All of the solutions on display can be tried out first hand. And anyone wanting to find out even more can tap on the touchscreen in the "Hettich on tour" van to access further information on products, ease of construction and assembly, practical digital services or even the "Hettich eShop".
Efficiency and sustainability all the way
Making "Hettich on tour" as sustainable as possible, the tour vans will be setting out to conserve their hosts' energy resources, managing without any connection to the power supply at any port of call. A solar panel system on the roof makes the vehicles self sufficient. We may not be able to do the European tour in electric vehicles as yet, but planning and scheduling are very consciously aimed at using the two vans as efficiently as we can. This means as few miles as possible for as many customer appointments as possible. Short transfers between countries not only benefit staff, but the environment too.

And where's the journey heading this year? The 2023 agenda will be seeing "Hettich on tour" start in southern Germany and Portugal, moving on to the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Belgium as well as Austria, Italy and Switzerland.
