At more than 100 years old, Häfele enjoys a well-earned reputation as one of the KBB sector’s best-known fixtures and fittings distributors. 

However, while many know the company for its iconic flagship innovations, they often overlook the sheer scale of Häfele’s portfolio. 

At the core of the company’s ethos is solving real-world customer challenges. Its services include planning tools for lighting and sliding door systems, pre-assembled products for ease of installation, and a team of experts on the road to assist with preparations. Meanwhile, its extensive own-manufactured ranges now span everything from premium storage solutions, advanced lighting systems, high-performance drawer boxes, and precision-engineered hinges.

As a complete solutions-led provider, Häfele combines its more than 25,000 products with its market-leading services, with everything curated to provide all the tools necessary to create great-looking kitchens for every taste.

Utensio storage

Häfele’s Utensio range is the brand’s first dedicated kitchen storage collection, designed with a solution-first approach that combines elegant finishes with smart functionality. The range includes corner and base storage, larder pull-outs, and the UK’s largest integrated bin solution.

The Utensio range has been thoughtfully designed to be compatible with standard kitchen cabinet dimensions for near-universal compatibility and includes tool-free adjustment, concealed fixings, and supplied fitting templates and jigs for straightforward installation. Offered in Folded, Accent, and Glass finishes, the range integrates effortlessly into any kitchen style. Backed by a 12-year guarantee, Utensio also reflects Häfele’s complete confidence in the quality and longevity of its craftsmanship.

Matrix drawers

Häfele’s Matrix drawer range shows just how design-led the company’s approach has become over the last century. The premium Matrix S Slim system, for example, is a double-walled, soft-close drawer with sleek 13mm sides, offering more usable space and a premium feel. Designed with a modern matte black finish, it’s built for performance, with a 35kg load capacity and robust soft close runners.

Meanwhile, Matrix Single is a cost-effective, lightweight option suited to kitchens, offices, and even motorhomes. It’s available in multiple heights and lengths, with compatibility for panels from 7mm to 18mm.

Metalla 310 hinge

After three years of international development, Häfele’s own-brand Metalla 310 hinge range was created to offer high quality and flexibility in any setting. With soft-close and standard variants, plus options for wide-angle and angled openings, it’s built to suit almost any installation.

Each hinge is tested to at least 40,000 cycles, certified to EN 15570 standards, and comes with a 25-year warranty. Aesthetically, the range has also evolved, now including an on-trend black nickel finish.

Lighting solutions

Now more than ever, lighting plays a key role in modern kitchen design, and Häfele’s Loox system makes it incredibly easy to integrate. Loox is a modular, plug-and-play furniture lighting solution with 12V, 24V, and 350mA options, spanning LED strips and spots to downlights and surface mounts.

Everything connects using colour-coded leads and compact drivers, so no specialist skills are needed. It can be controlled via switches, sensors, or through the Häfele Connect Mesh smartphone app. 

For even more options, the Flex Lighting System offers a bendable strip light that can contour around corners and plinths.

Having committed to continually evolving its products and services in line with customer needs, Häfele looks set to remain at the forefront of kitchen projects for many more decades to come.
