Hettich Australia and Konnect announce national distribution partnership

Hettich Australia and Konnect Fastening Systems, a subsidiary of Coventry Group, are pleased to announce a new national distribution partnership commencing in 2026. Under this agreement, Konnect will distribute the full range of Hettich products across its nationwide network, further strengthening access to high-quality cabinetry hardware throughout Australia.

Konnect’s extensive national footprint and long-standing expertise in hardware distribution will complement Hettich’s position as a global leader in German-engineered cabinetry solutions. The partnership will provide expanded product availability and enhanced service capability for customers across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

As part of the Coventry Group, Konnect Fastening Systems and Artia will continue to operate their cabinetry hardware specialisations, with Artia maintaining its role as the cabinetry hardware expert within the group. The national partnership aligns both organisations in delivering improved reach, efficiency, and choice for the Australian market.

“Hettich is committed to meeting growing demand across Australia, and partnering with Konnect supports this goal through increased accessibility and national distribution strength,” said Daniel Scalzo, National Dealer Manager, Hettich Australia.

“Partnering with Hettich is a strong strategic fit for Konnect Fastening Systems and the broader Coventry Group,” said Chris Smith, General Manager, Konnect Fastening Systems. “Hettich’s reputation for quality, innovation, and reliability aligns with our focus on delivering leading hardware solutions backed by national scale and service.”

“This partnership reflects Coventry Group’s focus on aligning with high-quality European brands that are recognised globally for engineering excellence and reliability,” said Nik Alpert, CEO, Coventry Group. “Hettich’s heritage, innovation, and commitment to quality make them a natural fit for our portfolio, and Konnect Fastening Systems’ national capability ensures customers can access that quality at scale across Australia.”

Hettich’s product range, known for its precision engineering, durability, and smooth performance, includes drawers, hinges, sliding systems, and cabinetry hardware solutions for a wide array of applications.

The partnership will commence in 2026, with both companies working closely to ensure a smooth and coordinated rollout.
