Häfele
Moves into Appliances Arena with Space Aid 2
The
publication by Häfele of the
second edition of its Space Aid for Kitchens catalogue marks a move by
the furniture fittings, components and accessories specialist into kitchen
appliances for the first time.
Space Aid 2 is, in time honoured Häfele
tradition, twice the size of the first publication that was launched early
in 2004. But that's where links with tradition end.
Because for the first time in the company's 40 year history in the UK,
Häfele
has stepped into the kitchen appliances sector with a wide range of products.
In addition to single and double ovens, range cookers and gas and electric
hobs, Hafele is also now offering fridges, freezers and dishwashers.
In support of its range of front rank appliances, Häfele
is also now stocking a selection of currently fashionable kitchen equipment
at the luxury end of the sector. These include wine coolers, drinks chillers
and ice makers as well as items that have been offered in the recent past
on a marketing trial basis - plate warmers, coffee machines and electronic
worktop scales among them.
Sales Director Ray Fisher says the move into appliances is a response
by Häfele
to customer demand: 'because we offer such a broad range of cabinet furniture
production fittings and components, we supply some products to most, if
not all, of Britain's specialist kitchen makers.
'When the products of these manufacturers move to the retail arena the
demand, whether at factory shop or high street design studio level, inevitably
focuses on customer sales generative products and accessories. And when
retailers ask manufacturers: 'where can we get the best ?' Häfele
is always one of the names that comes up - hence our involvement,' he
says.
And when the sales team at Häfele
were at the planning stage, they also decided that they would try one
or two other ideas that move the Rugby company beyond even the appliance
category and into the 'must have' kitchen sales accessories field: CD
and DVD players, drop down TV/radios and even a CCTV security system.

Hopkinsons
Fourways

in the smallest or most unusual room shapes. Wall hung and back-to-wall
options feature frequently in such collections, satisfying the popular,
clean and clutter-free image homeowners aspire to. Moods Bathrooms is

centres - outlets that stock the complete ranges, in return for favourable
trading terms and partnership benefits.

wood and frosted glass bathroom units, designed to complement other Moods
ceramics, including the tapered 'Arq' ceramic range itself. And catering
for the smallest of rooms, the 'Elia Corner' range is the ultimate design
for space saving solutions, offering corner shaped basins and WCs.
Following in the footsteps of the Isy brassware collection, a new range,
the 'Aguablu' design offers a range of the very latest mixer taps - featuring

The new collection goes on, including three further new contemporary brassware
ranges, a heated towel range, further ceramics, new Isy showers, a wide
choice of shower kits and valves, luxurious baths and whirlpools and a
new range of wall hung frames to hide away the plumbing.

price brands enabling stockists to quickly identify those products in

category.
Redesigned in line with the strong brand identity, each brochure uses

full load in just one hour. Energy efficiency is a clear priority too,

to combine stylish looks with practical, reliable features. It provides
a comprehensive product breakdown together with an explanation of such
features as the Sports Wash Cycles. These clean both sports kit and trainers
quickly and efficiently.
Quality and design are also the key messages communicated by Indesit's
new cooking brochure. The product line-up is precisely detailed
and aptly accompanied by graphic illustrations.
