That's a 26 per cent increase compared to 2020. Nearly 75 per cent of business was done abroad. Worldwide, Hettich invested 79 million euros in new products, buildings and machinery. Hettich currently employs more than 7,400 members of staff around the globe, more than 3,700 of them in Germany.
The upturn in demand in the home furnishings market that started in the second half of 2020 continued into 2021. In the second year of the pandemic, home improvement and home furnishings continued to be in high demand around the globe as people continued to invest in their homes.
"We have done our best to work with our customers in an effort to bring new and beautiful home furnishing solutions to as many consumers as possible", says Jana Schönfeld, managing director of Hettich Holding.
Kitchens, sofas as well as home working furniture were particularly popular among the new purchases made. In addition to new furniture, DIY projects were also highly popular. Hettich was able to support this trend with its solutions for the Do-It-Yourself sector.
