Kerala's humidity is the hardest test a kitchen faces in India. This is where PUResist earns its keep.

Yes. Häcker Kitchens (also written Hacker Kitchens) is a German modular kitchen brand in India’s premium and luxury segment, made to order in automated factories in Rödinghausen, Germany, by a maker founded in 1898, with a written warranty (5+5 years on Systemat). In Kochi, Häcker kitchens are designed and installed by Kitchen Stories at the Vennala studio, open since 2008, with complete kitchens from around ₹12–15 lakh.
Yes. Every Häcker kitchen is made to order in Häcker’s own factories in Rödinghausen and Venne, Germany, planned to the measurements of your home, and shipped to India as finished cabinets. That is why delivery takes 16 to 18 weeks rather than a few weeks. The kitchens carry the RAL “Made in Germany” quality mark and the Golden M of the German furniture quality association (DGM), and the wood comes from PEFC-certified forests. Ask any kitchen brand for the factory address and the import papers; a German name alone does not make a kitchen German-made.
