Many kitchens sold in India carry German-sounding names, or promise “German technology”. Only some of them are made in Germany. 5 checks tell them apart.
German-made is not the only way to a good kitchen. But if you are paying for a German kitchen, it should be one.
Ask for the factory address in Germany, look for the RAL “Made in Germany” quality mark and the Golden M of the German furniture quality association (DGM), and check the delivery time: a kitchen made to order in Germany and shipped to India takes around 4 months. Words such as “German technology”, “German design” or “German hardware” describe a design or a component, not where the cabinets are made.
In Häcker’s own automated factories in Rödinghausen and Venne, Germany, where the company has made kitchens since 1898. Around 1,000 kitchens a day are made to order there; the kitchens for India are shipped as finished cabinets and installed by the Häcker studio in your city.

Every Häcker studio has working kitchens, and the answer to every question above.
