Henneke – Your specialist for Corian® & custom-made bathroom furniture from the Sauerland

Location

The Sauerland region is located in the south of Westphalia.

It is home to many companies with high-quality products and market leaders in specialized industrial sectors, who value producing in their home region. This important business location is also home to many companies that operate worldwide. We, too, appreciate this home.

Frank Henneke, the company's founder, grew up in the Sauerland region, and no matter where he sought inspiration, he was always drawn back to his home. He found his home in Plettenberg, in the Märkischer Kreis, and laid the foundation for his company there in 1988. This was the right decision, and today Henneke stands more than ever by the motto "Made in the Sauerland" - production in Germany.

To ensure quality, craftsmanship, and tradition, we deliberately avoid outsourcing work processes. Our home region is important to us, which is why it is supported, and new jobs are created for people who do not want to miss the charm and quality of their homeland. The quality of the products is also appreciated globally, allowing Henneke Formbau GmbH to offer its products not only in Europe but also in the USA, South America, and Asia. They are and remain a medium-sized company that delivers the perfection of craftsmanship, as well as unsurpassed quality and performance.
