Häfele posts stable 1.72 billion euros revenue in 2025

Operating in a still difficult economic and geopolitical environment, Häfele Group reported broadly stable results for the 2025 financial year. The internationally active group, headquartered in Nagold, generated revenue of 1.72 billion euros as of 31 December 2025, representing a nominal decline of 1 percent compared with the previous year. Adjusted for currency effects, sales increased by 3 percent.

The performance was negatively impacted in particular by the strength of the euro against local currencies. International business continued to account for the majority of revenue, at 82 percent of total sales. Häfele employs around 8,000 people across 39 countries worldwide.

Mixed regional developments
Global markets showed uneven trends in 2025. While the real estate sector weakened significantly in China and Thailand, Häfele gained momentum in India through its consistent “Make in India” strategy and investments in local production capacities, resulting in stable growth in local currency. Business in the United States also developed positively in US dollars, although exchange-rate effects partially dampened growth when translated into euros.

Encouraging signs were also seen in Brazil, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. At the beginning of 2026, initial signs of stabilization emerged in the Vietnamese real estate market, alongside a cautious recovery in New Zealand.

Strategy and investments
The group considers itself well positioned under its “Strategy 2030” and the guiding principle “Maximising the value of space. Together.” The focus remains on co-creation and co-engineering, involving the joint development of solutions with customers and partners—an approach already showcased at Interzum 2025 and set to continue in 2026.

Häfele also reaffirmed its commitment to its headquarters location with the commissioning of a new logistics building in Wolfsberg, Nagold, during 2025. Designed to combine technological innovation with efficient processes, the facility also serves as an open space for exchange with partners. Total investments of around €70 million are planned for 2026.

Outlook 2026
Chief Executive Officer Gregor Riekena expects geopolitical conditions to remain challenging in 2026, marking the fourth consecutive difficult year. The company will therefore continue to focus on strategic priorities and collaboration across the entire value chain, aiming to seize growth opportunities together with partners and to contribute to sustainable living and working environments.
