Hettich: Solutions that simplify production and elevate furniture

EXHIBITOR | How can fittings, drawer systems and smart movement solutions create more value in furniture, interior and joinery production? Ahead of Wood Products & Technology 2026, we meet Per Söderman, Key Account Manager at Hettich, who talks about the demand for solutions that simplify planning and assembly, enhance the functionality of the finished product and meet growing requirements for flexibility, design and sustainability.

Which solutions are currently seeing the strongest demand in furniture, interior and joinery production?

We currently see strong interest in solutions that help manufacturers create more value with less complexity. Customers are looking for systems that are easy to plan, easy to install and reliable in daily use. Drawer systems such as AvanTech YOU, space-saving door solutions like Wing Line L and new movement ideas such as FurnSpin are good examples, because they combine practical benefits with attractive design. In addition, our Hettich Interior Fittings range is becoming increasingly relevant, especially for smart storage solutions in kitchens.

How can fittings, systems and smart details contribute to more efficient production and better functionality in finished wood products?

From our customer discussions, efficiency is a key topic. Good fittings can save time in production and assembly, especially when they are simple to install, easy to adjust and flexible in use. At the same time, they improve the finished product: doors move smoothly, drawers run reliably, storage space becomes easier to access and the furniture feels better in everyday use.

Which trends in design, function and sustainability are currently influencing the development of your solutions?

We see that customers want furniture that is more flexible, more individual and better adapted to real living spaces. Space is often limited, so smart use of storage and clever movement solutions are becoming more important. Sustainability is also part of the discussion: durable systems, long product life and verified solutions are increasingly relevant. With core products listed in the Svanen Portal and approved by Byggvarubedömningen, we can give customers additional confidence when sustainability requirements are part of their projects.
