The new administrative building will be immediately adjacent to and linked up with the facilities at Hettich Heinze. By the end of 2007, some 90 people will be working here. The two-storey building will provide roughly 1,000 m2 of extra floor space. The existing administrative building next-door to the production halls will be converted into conference rooms, reception areas, a canteen and the new Lightweight Lab. The Residential Division is responsible for worldwide sales of fittings for residential furniture, most of which are produced in Spenge.

“The aim of the restructuring”, says Dr. Hettich “is to bring development, production, distribution and sales closer together, so as to boost our capacity to supply what the market wants. We know that exceeding our customers’ expectations by delivering a seamless combination of products, consultancy and service, requires in-house functions to be spatially and organisationally networked.”
