Working closely together 

Hettich and FGV will remain independent brands and companies within the Hettich Group, customers of both companies will retain their usual contacts even after the planned merger, so customer service will remain unchanged. The management of both companies, Hettich and FGV, will ensure the necessary continuity and continuous joint development.
