N.A.A. celebrates one million Hettich drawers at annual Open Day

During the event, N.A.A. and Hettich celebrated the sale of more than one million Hettich drawer systems through the Irish distributor, underlining the long-standing partnership between the two companies and the continued demand for premium furniture hardware across the Irish market.
Visitors saw the latest solutions from Hettich, Liebherr, H.B. Fuller, Liebherr, Rubio Monocoat, Lamello and other leading suppliers, with live product demonstrations and technical advice reflecting the growing emphasis on quality, specification and efficiency in kitchen and furniture manufacturing.
Luke Hickey, Managing Director of N.A.A., said the event reflected what customers increasingly want from their supply partners.
“The Open Day brought Ireland’s leading specifiers, joiners and manufacturers into Ballymount, and the message we heard was consistent: the market wants brands it can trust. Hettich hardware, H.B. Fuller adhesives, Rubio Monocoat finishes, Lamello jointing systems and New Style Lights are names that stand up on a contract job as well as in a domestic kitchen, and days like this let our customers see the depth of what’s available to them in Ireland without going overseas.
“We also used the day to launch two significant additions to our range: FGV, the hinge and drawer brand within the Hettich Group, and Haier appliances, targeted at the kitchen manufacturing sector. Both are a direct response to what our customers have been asking for, and both give us real headroom to grow with them over the next three years.”
The addition of FGV further strengthens N.A.A.’s furniture-fittings portfolio and broadens the range available to Irish manufacturers, while the new Haier partnership, warmly received by visitors on the day, extends the company’s appliance offering for the kitchen trade.
With established brands spanning hardware, adhesives, wood finishes, jointing systems and appliances, N.A.A. continues to invest in giving Irish manufacturers access to internationally recognised products backed by local stock, technical support and expertise.
