About HEFA Kühlmöbel
HEFA Kühlmöbel GmbH is a German manufacturer of refrigerated counters, cocktail counters, storage refrigeration furniture, cold rooms and custom builds for gastronomy. The company was founded in 1984 in Hersbruck and has been producing in Sulzbach-Rosenberg since 1988. Based on the patented Steck-Schnapp plug-and-snap system (1987), custom counters are manufactured in any size; bespoke production is the norm. Manufacturing takes place entirely in-house: from the first sheet metal processing through welding and powder coating in RAL colours to refrigeration technology integration and pre-assembly. Materials are primarily stainless steel WS 1.4301, galvanised and powder-coated sheet steel, brass, copper and aluminium as well as worktops made of granite, marble, engineered stone and wood. Customers include hotels, bars, restaurants, airport and stadium catering, large-scale kitchens, dairies, fitness studios as well as medical and pharmaceutical applications; references include, among others, Mandarin Oriental Munich, Jamie Oliver Kitchen Berlin, Sheraton Frankfurt Airport and Pullman Berlin. The site is Ludwig-Erhard-Straße in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, where administration and production have been housed since 2015.
