«Hawa Forte» changes to peka – 
from October 1, 2025

peka-metall AG is taking over the «Hawa Forte» sliding solution, the hardware system for pull-outs for tall cabinets from Hawa Sliding Solutions AG. As of October 2025, the product will be fully integrated into the peka product range – including production, further development and brand presence – and will be marketed under the name of «peka Forte» in future. Until the take-over in October, the track will be available from Hawa and its specialized dealers as usual.

As part of the strategic product range design, Hawa has decided to part with its self-developed «Hawa Forte» heavy-duty runner. This step is taking place as part of the endeavor to reinforce the «on furniture» and «in buildings» portfolios by means of focusing.

As of October 1, 2025, the «Hawa Forte» hardware will be completely taken over by peka: From this date forward, it will be manufactured in Mosen in Switzerland, undergo further development and be marketed under the new name of «peka Forte». The product will continue to be available for customers from the usual specialized dealers.

«With the transfer of the «Hawa Forte» hardware system to peka, we know that this product is being taken over by a partner who will continue to market the product with equally as much know-how and vision as we developed it. The future «peka Forte» product is the next logical step in their evolution.»
Ezequiel Di Claudio, CEO of Hawa Sliding Solutions AG

peka will present the system for the first time already at the Interzum in Cologne (DE) in May 2025, still under the Hawa brand name, giving specialist visitors a sneak peek of the future peka product.

«Hawa Forte» is suitable for us in every respect – both technologically and strategically», says Beni Weber, CEO of peka-metall AG. «The fact that it is becoming a part of our product range from October as «peka Forte» underlines our claim of providing the best storage space solutions for high-quality furniture and kitchen applications under our own brand name. The large pull-out depths and high load-bearing capacity open up new planning options for our customers – with a considerable amount of potential for creative solutions.»

«Hawa Forte» is particularly suitable for specialists in furniture manufacturing, shopfitting and kitchen design who wish to integrate intelligent pull-out solutions into their design concepts in a precise and harmonious way.
