Häcker Appoints FINCO Trading as Exclusive Partner for Sri Lanka
FINCO Trading, a subsidiary company of FINCO Holdings was announced as the exclusive partner to distribute Häcker Kitchen germanMade, German-based company Häcker küchen GmbH & Co. KG which specializes in modern fitted kitchens. This partnership with Häcker will turn a new chapter in FINCO Trading as Häcker is a family-owned company which was established exclusively for kitchen manufacturing and with its years of expertise and high-quality products, customers are more likely to embrace products that have been tailor-made for a modern and cozy lifestyle. Häcker is constantly expanding its product range to include both, attractive and highly sophisticated kitchens with premium finishes. Having identified Sri Lanka as a country that is quick to embrace world-class, renowned and modern lifestyle brands, Häcker joined hands with FINCO Trading to represent the German brand in Sri Lanka.
Häcker is an owner-managed family business run by the father and son duo, Horst and Jochen Finkemeier. Today, Häcker is the second largest manufacturer of kitchen furniture in Germany. Their joint contribution to the brand comprises of projecting extensive experience and adaptation of new technology to the Company, provides support and evaluation while the other engages in developing, creating perspectives and never losing sight of the fact that a steady hand is needed when it comes to the strategic direction of Häcker. The company has long since become a global operator though its roots remain in Rödinghausen in Eastern Westphalia, Germany.
Keeping up with the spirit of the times without shying away from innovation or investment. FINCO Trading too, is a family owned but professionally run company, just as it is with Häcker and it only seemed fitting that both companies would join hands. FINCO Trading was set up by FINCO Holdings Ltd in 2019 to cater to the growing need of premium home ware to the local market.
Häcker chose to expand their business footprint in Sri Lanka following an extensive analysis of potential companies to partner with. Häcker’s goal of providing high performance contemporary and innovative designs resonated well with FINCO’s stance in improving the level of gracious living through the provision of exceptional products and services for their customers in terms of home and lifestyle.
