In 1991 Hettich America Corp. purchased the company Grant and moved the Charlotte facility to Harrisonville, MO. on Thanksgiving of 1992. Grant, a market leader in the US. for ballbearing and roller-bearing slides, for sliding door hardware and precision ball bearing hardware.
In December of 1995 Hettich moved its administration and warehouse to Alpharetta, GA and its manufacturing equipment to Baldwin, GA. After years of changing locations in the US. and physically separating functions, it became evident that a consolidation of these two locations was critical for Hettich America to take the presence in the US. market to the next level. Hettich America merged its two locations in Buford, GA / Gwinnett County in 2010. Here as well as in Kirchlengern, Germany is where ideas are born for furniture fittings for today and the future.
