Häcker - a company with tradition and a vision for the future
Our history
The foundation for Häcker's corporate history was laid back in 1898 when Hermann Häcker founded a joinery in Rödinghausen. His passion for quality craftsmanship and his attention to detail have been passed down from generation to generation ever since. In 1938, Friedrich Häcker took over the management until 1965, when his son-in-law Horst Finkemeier took over the joinery. Together with his wife Renate, he laid the foundation for today's economic success through the series production of kitchen furniture. In 1996, his son, Jochen Finkemeier, joined the management. Since then, a lot has happened in terms of innovation: from the introduction of the systemat and concept130 product lines to the construction of factories 3, 4 and 5 and the introduction of BLAUPUNKT as the exclusive own brand for built-in kitchen appliances. Häcker is proud to be a traditional, owner-managed family business that makes the kitchen dreams of many people around the world come true with heart and soul and expertise.
Our philosophy
Häcker has a mission: we want to make the kitchen dreams of customers all over the world come true. Therefore, the customer with his individual ideas, wishes and needs is the focus of our corporate philosophy in every respect. Our goal is to produce high-quality and noble kitchens that make your everyday life easier and at the same time become an inspiring place where you feel completely at ease - every day anew.
Our work is characterised by attention to detail - from the perfectly smooth lacquered front to the environmentally friendly plinth base made from 100% recycled plastic. This is how we create unique products, because as a kitchen manufacturer with passion, we know that it's the little things that make the difference. Häcker maintains a close and trusting exchange with specialist dealers in order to optimally support and accompany you with our expertise in the implementation of individual customer wishes (/en/kuechenplaner). Because our mission is to create unique kitchen compositions that perfectly suit your lifestyle. This is how your kitchen becomes a special place - a place of life, creativity and encounter that deserves the highest level of quality and precision.
Our vision
Our vision drives us to continuously strive for excellence and push the boundaries of what is possible in kitchen design. We want to actively shape the future of the kitchen industry and make a positive impact on the lifestyles and well-being of many people. This includes the continuous improvement of our sustainability strategies, because we are aware of our responsibility - with regard to our environment, our employees and our society. To realise our vision, we rely on close cooperation with our customers, partners and employees. We want to create an environment of trust in which ideas can be exchanged and great innovations can emerge. Together, we want to set new standards and drive groundbreaking innovations in the kitchen industry.
Our mission
As a renowned kitchen manufacturer, Häcker follows a philosophy that goes beyond the mere production of kitchens. Because we firmly believe that a kitchen is more than just a functional room. It is the centre of the home. A place where memories are made and family and friends come together. That's why we strive to offer our customers not only the best quality, but also maximum flexibility. So that you get a kitchen that perfectly matches your individual wishes and needs. In doing so, we not only want to do justice to current design trends, but also create timelessly beautiful and sustainable kitchens. In our products, we strive for the highest quality in every detail. Each of our fitted kitchens (/en/kueche-kaufen) combines functionality, technical sophistication and aesthetics. From the initial idea to the final implementation, we set the highest standards in terms of quality and precision to meet the highest expectations.
Our values
These three values form the foundation of our corporate philosophy: they are deliberately chosen adjectives, because they not only shape us but also define us. We are proud to be one of the best German kitchen manufacturers, producing not only high-quality kitchens but also taking our responsibility towards customers, partners, employees, the environment, and society seriously.
1. Reliable,
because trust is our foundation – and quality is our promise.
2. Responsible,
because we do not promise the future – we shape it.
3. Exemplary,
because with openness, service, and genuine cooperation we set new standards.
Corporate policy
Our corporate policy reflects our values as a kitchen manufacturer and defines the framework within which we work. We are continuously committed to excellence, sustainability, customer satisfaction and a positive working environment. For us, responsibility means staying true to our values and principles. Because success is more than just numbers. It is the result of networked thinking that succeeds in seeing its own actions in larger terms: ecological, social and economic.

Sustainability
As a family business, Häcker is committed to sustainability and social responsibility. We are a kitchen manufacturer that focuses on sustainable action in all areas. From the use of renewable raw materials and recycled materials to ecological projects and the longevity of our kitchens, we are actively committed to climate and species protection. For example, we also support international renewable energy projects such as wind and water power. Our kitchens are manufactured in a climate-neutral and energy-efficient manner and are certified healthy to live in. With the help of a variety of measures and strategies, we are continuously working to improve our ecological performance and minimise our environmental impact.
