Speaking at the launch, Anil
Goel, Managing Director, Hettich India Pvt Ltd, said, “Hettich has always been
a pioneer in furniture technology focused on ease, convenience and above all,
lifelong durability of our fittings. But our work has always been in the
background. With the Hettich Innovation Centre, we hope to bring to the
foreground the vast range of all that we offer and actually show what our
fittings can actually achieve for our customers in the ultimate luxury.”On why they chose Bengaluru
to be the first centre, Goel added, “This has always been a key market for
Hettich. Bengalureans travel a lot; people here are exposed to the best homes
and interiors in the world. The average Bengalurean invests early in real
estate and takes a considerable amount of effort to research options before
doing up his home. So we thought that Bengaluru would be a good city to start from.”Hettich is hoping to start
similar such initiatives in the other countries as well in the near future. Dr
Andreas Hettich confirmed, “People around the world are looking for intelligent
living solutions and better interior ideas. With the recent surge in the
economy and the new government stressing on smart cities and housing for all,
India is our most promising market. We are looking at it as a pilot project; we
are hoping that we can replicate our learning here in other cities around the
world.”Along with the new centre,
Hettich India has also beefed up their design services arm. The company now
offers free design and hardware consultation for its customers at their
doorstep, where their hardware engineers do on-site visits and offer customized
solutions.
