Hettich India has strengthened its footprint in South India with the inauguration of Coimbatore’s first Hettich Exclusive (HeX) store, marking another step in the brand’s experiential retail expansion. The launch event was attended by leading architects from the region, including Siddarth Gopala Sankar of Shankar and Associates, John Antony of Cuboid Architecture, Pradeep Arumugam M of WARP, along with Mani Megalai T.
Designed as an immersive destination, the HeX store offers a solution-led retail format where customers can explore modern furniture concepts equipped with premium German-engineered fittings, architectural door solutions, lighting systems, and built-in kitchen appliances. The space features thoughtfully curated walk-through displays that allow visitors to experience how functionality, design, and innovation come together in real-life interior settings. Customers can also access complimentary design consultations, enabling them to visualise and customise furniture solutions tailored to their specific requirements.
The Coimbatore launch is part of Hettich’s broader strategy to enhance customer engagement through upgraded company-owned and franchise-led experience stores across South India. These experiential formats aim to inspire homeowners, architects, and designers by offering hands-on exposure to Hettich’s latest innovations and application-driven solutions.
Speaking at the launch, Rahul Thakkar, Director – Sales, Hettich India, said, “Coimbatore is a city that values craftsmanship, quality, and refined living. With the opening of our first HeX store here, we are creating a space where customers can experience our award-winning fittings and appliances in an engaging, real-world setting. Hettich’s German-engineered solutions are designed to elevate everyday living, and this store brings that promise closer to the people of Coimbatore.”
The new store forms part of Hettich’s nationwide rollout of HeX stores planned for the year, complementing its existing Experience Centres across India. Each solution showcased is designed for durability, intelligent functionality, and adaptability to evolving lifestyle needs.
