FrankoFlex, the adjustable fitting for head and arm rests in upholstered furniture, creates a wide range of options for manufacturers of upholstered furniture with its stability and application flexibility. The new FrankoFlex fitting with Silent Mode revolutionises adjustment in upholstered furniture: permitting adjustment with Silent Mode, it is ideal for high end applications while providing potential for differentiation. FrankoStretch is used for adjusting furniture segments upholstered in one piece. The fitting stretches the cover material and avoids puckering.

To make upholstered furniture easier to move and assemble, Hettich offers the UniFix clip-on fitting for the FrankoFlex and VarioFlex adjustable fittings and the push-in sleeve for fittings with decorative chrome link to simplify the job of pre-assembling furniture and completing assembly at the point of use.

With the Mosys system, Hettich is also a competent partner to the bed industry. The modular system ranges from the simple powerassisted head-adjuster to the convenient radio-controlled bed with mains isolation and massage funtion. Bringing out a new switched-mode power supply unit and a new radio control system, Hettich puts safety and performance in harmony with nature. At <0.5 W in stand-by mode, the SMPS meets Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC even today.
