Hettich has expanded its product portfolio to include sliding door systems, marking the company's entry into a new hardware category. The move represents a strategic shift for the manufacturer, traditionally focused on hinges, drawer runners, and other cabinet fittings. The new product line targets growing demand in furniture manufacturing and interior fit-out applications, where sliding systems offer space-saving solutions for wardrobes, room dividers, and partition walls. The addition positions Hettich to compete directly with established sliding system specialists in the joinery and shopfitting sectors.
