Hafele Financial Report 2025: Strategic Focus and Global Resilience Drive Stable Growth Amid Market Headwinds

Nagold, Germany: In a year marked by persistent geopolitical uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and uneven recovery across construction and retail sectors, the Häfele Group has delivered a performance defined by resilience and strategic consistency.
The Hafele Financial Report 2025 confirms that the company generated EUR 1.72 billion in revenue, maintaining stability despite challenging market conditions. When adjusted for currency effects, revenue reflects a three per cent increase over the previous year, demonstrating real growth in operational terms.
With 82 per cent of its business generated outside Germany and operations spanning 39 subsidiaries worldwide, Hafele continues to benefit from geographic diversification and a balanced global footprint.
Financial Overview 2025
The key financial and structural indicators from the report are summarised below:
| Indicator | 2025 Performance | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | EUR 1.72 billion | Stable year-on-year performance |
| Revenue Growth (currency-adjusted) | +3% | Real operational increase |
| International Sales Share | 82% | Strong global diversification |
| Global Subsidiaries | 39 | Broad operational presence |
| Planned Investment 2026 | Approx. EUR 70 million | Focus on logistics, sustainability, competitiveness |
The numbers highlight Hafele’s ability to protect revenue levels while continuing to invest in long-term competitiveness.

Strategy 2030: Execution Over Rhetoric
Central to Hafele’s steady performance is the consistent execution of Strategy 2030, a long-term roadmap aimed at transforming the company from a product-driven supplier into a system-oriented solution partner.
Rather than operating in isolated product categories, Hafele integrates hardware, intelligent lighting, networking technologies and electronic access control systems into cohesive ecosystems. This integrated solutions approach allows customers to design living and working spaces that are functionally efficient, technologically connected and increasingly sustainable.
Two strategic concepts underpin this transition:
| Strategic Pillar | Objective | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Co-Creation | Collaborative product and system development with customers | Deeper market integration and stronger relationships |
| Co-Engineering | Joint optimisation across production and logistics | Reduced time-to-market and operational efficiency |
By embedding itself earlier in the value chain, Hafele strengthens long-term competitiveness while unlocking new market potential alongside its partners.
Regional Performance Snapshot
While global headwinds persisted, several regions delivered encouraging developments.
| Region | 2025 Development | Strategic Significance |
|---|---|---|
| India | Expansion of local production and supplier localisation | Strengthening “Make in India” strategy |
| Brazil | Positive growth momentum | Recovery in infrastructure and renovation projects |
| Middle East | Continued demand in retail and hospitality | Strong premium segment activity |
| Eastern Europe | Positive developments despite uncertainties | Resilient residential renovation cycle |
| USA | Encouraging growth in dollar terms | Diversified offering supports stability |
India as a Strategic Growth Engine
India remains one of Hafele’s most important long-term markets. During 2025, the company expanded local production capacities, deepened supplier localisation and invested in a start-up company. These steps reinforce its “Make in India” strategy and improve supply chain resilience while reducing currency exposure.
The localisation strategy aligns with broader economic policy priorities and positions Hafele to benefit from India’s expanding demand for modular kitchens, smart living solutions and premium interior systems.
At interzum in Cologne, Hafele presented Strategy 2030 not as a conceptual framework but as a tangible implementation model. The exhibition demonstrated how integrated hardware, lighting and electronic systems can redefine living and working spaces through improved efficiency, functionality and sustainability.
The company will carry this strategic momentum into 2026 at two major international platforms:
| Upcoming Event 2026 | Focus Area |
|---|---|
| EuroShop | Innovation in retail concepts and spatial optimisation |
| Holz-Handwerk | Comprehensive solutions for joiners and cabinet makers |
These exhibitions serve as global stages to reinforce Hafele’s position as a system partner rather than a component supplier.
Investment and Infrastructure Expansion
Hafele is reinforcing its headquarters in Nagold with the commissioning of a new logistics building scheduled for 2026. The investment forms part of a broader capital allocation plan of approximately EUR 70 million.
| Investment Area | Objective | Long-Term Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| New Logistics Building | Expanded warehousing and automation | Faster delivery and improved supply chain reliability |
| Sustainability Measures | Energy-efficient systems | Reduced carbon footprint |
| Operational Modernisation | Process optimisation | Enhanced performance capability |
Strategic investment during prolonged economic uncertainty signals corporate confidence in structural market demand.
Outlook 2026: Stability with Strategic Confidence
The global market environment remains challenging for the fourth consecutive year. However, Hafele enters 2026 with a clear strategic orientation, diversified geographic exposure and continued investment momentum.
The 2025 Financial Report does not present aggressive expansion figures; instead, it reflects disciplined stability, currency-adjusted growth and structural reinforcement. In an era where volatility has become the norm, Hafele’s combination of integrated solutions, collaborative value chain engagement and targeted regional expansion positions the company for sustained long-term competitiveness.
As global living and working environments evolve toward intelligent, connected ecosystems, Hafele’s transformation under Strategy 2030 suggests that resilience is no longer reactive — it is strategically engineered.
