German kitchens have long remained synonymous with high-quality manufacturing and materials, precision, ergonomics and clean design. Established in 1898, German luxury kitchen manufacturer Häcker Kitchens prides itself in these defining qualities. Being a family-owned German company, it embodies the national qualities for excellence, integrity and love for craft, as well as high-quality materials and processes, resulting in long-lasting and well-designed products. Its 100% tropicalised cabinets means that the Häcker kitchen is fully sealed using the latest adhesive and sealing technology, with the highest resistance to heat and humidity – robust enough to stand the test of time in the toughest of climates across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
