Hettich adds another factory near Indore

Hettich India, the market leader in furniture fittings and hardware, inaugurated its state-of-the-art hinge manufacturing plant in Pithampur, near Indore (Madhya Pradesh) recently.

Spread over a mammoth 1,00,000 square metres, it is the largest Hettich plant in the world. The plant is equipped with the most advanced machinery from Europe to manufacture Hettich’s integrated silent (soft-close) hinges.

Raw materials to finished products are processed under one roof, thus giving excellent control over processes and the final product quality. Every product leaving the plant is ensured for its quality, reliability and life.

Apart from the latest plant near Indore, Hettich India has two other state-of-the-art manufacturing plants in Vadodara (Gujarat) which produce stainless steel wire products and telescopic runners.
