Häfele completed the acquisition of a minority stake in Isler.

Häfele, a German furniture fittings and architectural hardware company, completed the acquisition of a minority stake in Isler, a specialized manufacturer of premium smart kitchen appliances. Financial terms were not disclosed. The move is rooted in a clear shift in India’s appliance industry: Quality Control Orders (QCOs), rising consumer expectations, and global supply chain realignments are compelling multinational companies to localise product development, engineering, and manufacturing. Häfele’s partnership with Isler is therefore far more than a financial transaction; it is a strategic bet on India’s potential as a high-quality export hub for built-in appliances.
