Häcker makes 2 kitchen lines, in the same factories, on the same carcase, with the same drawers and fittings. What differs is on the outside: the fronts, how far the choice of material and colour goes, and the warranty term. Here is how to tell them apart, and how to choose.
Open a drawer in a Systemat kitchen and a drawer in a Concept 130 kitchen and you will find the same thing: the same carcase, the same runners, the same hinges, the same fittings, made to order in Rödinghausen and Venne and shipped to India in the same 16 to 18 weeks. Häcker builds one cabinet and dresses it 2 ways.
Concept 130 is the line Häcker plans for kitchens that continue into the living space: more than 30 front programmes, from melamine and direct lacquer through satin and real-wood lacquer to polymer glass, each programme in its own set of colours. Systemat is the premium programme: everything Concept 130 offers, plus real-wood veneer, stone veneer, linoleum and metallic lacquer, and lacquer fronts in any of more than 2,000 NCS or 190 RAL colours. Systemat also carries the written 5+5-year warranty on the cabinetry; Concept 130 carries a written warranty on the cabinetry whose terms your studio gives you before you order.

Carcase, equipment and handle options as published in the 2027 Häcker catalogues; price groups as quoted by the studios; warranty as written by Häcker Kitchens India.
A complete Häcker kitchen starts from around ₹12–15 lakh across India, and the fronts are the single biggest lever on that figure. The 2 lines share the same entry price groups: a satin-lacquer front in Concept 130 sits in the same price group as a satin-lacquer front in Systemat, and so does a real-wood lacquer. Concept 130 runs from price group 0 to 6; Systemat continues to 9, which is where veneer, stone veneer and linoleum live. Choosing Systemat does not move the price by itself. Choosing a veneer does.
The quotation lists cabinetry, fronts, hardware, interiors, appliances and worktop separately, so you can see what a step up the ladder costs on your own plan, and move one item without touching the others.

The fronts, and how far the choice goes. Both lines are made in the same Häcker factories on the same carcase, with the same drawers, hinges and fittings. Concept 130 offers more than 30 front programmes, from melamine and direct lacquer to real-wood lacquer and polymer glass, in colours set by each programme. Systemat is Häcker’s premium programme: it adds real-wood veneer, stone veneer, linoleum and metallic lacquer, and its lacquer fronts come in any of more than 2,000 NCS or 190 RAL colours.
It is a narrower one, not a lesser one. The carcase, the hardware and the factory are the same, and the two lines share the same entry price groups: a satin-lacquer front in Concept 130 sits in the same price group as a satin-lacquer front in Systemat. Systemat runs from price group 0 to 9 and Concept 130 from 0 to 6, so what Systemat adds is the top of the ladder and individual colour, not a different quality of cabinet.
Yes. Carcase, drawers and fittings are the same in Systemat and Concept 130; only the fronts differ. The Climber roller-shutter unit, the SlightLift flap, pocket doors, the LeMans corner, the waste sorter and the Tandem pull-out are planned into either line, and both offer handles, channel handles (the ART handleless look) or push to open.
Systemat carries Häcker India’s written warranty of 5+5 years on the cabinetry from the installation date. Concept 130 carries a written warranty on the cabinetry too; your studio gives you the complete terms for the line you choose before you order, not after.
On Systemat, yes: the lacquer programmes are made to any RAL Classic, RAL Design System plus or NCS colour, except pearl and luminous shades, and the shade is written into the plan by its NCS or RAL number. Concept 130 fronts come in the colours of each programme, with the Selection series carrying the current trend colours.
No. Both lines are made to order in Rödinghausen and Venne, Germany, and arrive in India in 16 to 18 weeks, as finished cabinets. Both are on display in the Häcker studios, so you can open the drawers of each and compare the fronts in daylight before you decide.
