Established in 2010 as a branch of Häfele India Pvt Ltd, Häfele in Sri Lanka is a fully owned subsidiary of Häfele GmbH & Co KG. With its origin from the Swabian (Germany) region that nurses a passion for hardware technology, it is no surprise that Häfele has lived up to its roots through a successful presence in the architectural and furniture hardware industry for over 90 years now. Today, Häfele’s worldwide penetration includes 50 subsidiaries across Europe, America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to this it has nine sales offices in other countries. The Häfele headquarters, five manufacturing units and 10 sales offices are located within Germany. The company also owns one of the largest and most sophisticated warehouses in its home country. The Häfele worldwide workforce is empowered by a base of 5,600 employees. The group services over 150,000 customers across the globe through its extensive range of hardware products and a comprehensive logistics system. In addition to this, Häfele also provides consultative services to its customers, educating and advising them about buying the correct hardware as per their requirements. With this level of market penetration and ability to handle worldwide demand, it comes as no surprise that the company makes about one billion euros of turnover; what is pleasantly surprising, though, is that in spite of its size, Häfele still remains a family owned and run business with a unique and informal culture. Häfele set its foot in Sri Lanka in 2010 as an extension to its Indian Operations with the encouragement and constant motivation of Jürgen Wolf, Managing Director. The growing hardware demand and the increasing architectural maturity motivated the company to start full commercial operations in Sri Lanka.
