04 Mar 2026 CW Team

Hafele has commenced operations at a new local production facility in Maharashtra, marking a step in the company’s localisation strategy and its commitment to the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. The facility is designed to support local value creation and serve as a foundation for scalable manufacturing operations in the country.

In the first phase, the company has started production of its MatrixBox Premium+ drawer systems, designed for modern kitchens and engineered for soft-close and noiseless performance. The system supports heavy-duty usage and offers multiple finish options and customisable add-ons. The facility is planned to expand with additional product categories over time.

Michael Distl, Chief Financial Officer, Hafele Group, said, “Strengthening our global production network requires strategic investments in key growth markets like India.”

The company has also expanded its Service+Customised capabilities in India, introducing locally produced aluminium profiled cabinet fronts from its Mumbai facility. The customised components are pre-assembled and pre-drilled to improve installation efficiency for kitchen, wardrobe and furniture applications.

Hafele stated that the initiative aims to strengthen supply-chain resilience, reduce reliance on imports and enable faster response to market demand across India and South Asia.
