What Hauck does

Hauck (hauck GmbH & Co. KG) is a privately held German manufacturer of juvenile products founded in 1923 and headquartered in Sonnefeld, Germany. The company designs and produces baby and children's hardware including pushchairs and stroller systems (Kinderwagen, including combo sets, travel buggies, sport strollers, and twin/sibling wagons), high chairs (Hochstühle, with FSC-certified beech wood lines such as Alpha+, Beta+, and Arketa), i-Size compliant infant car seats with ISOFIX bases, travel beds, safety gates, bike trailers, children's ride-on vehicles, play mats, learning towers, wooden toys, and changing/nursing accessories. Its product architecture is modular, with 2-in-1, 3-in-1, and 4-in-1 systems intended to grow with a child from birth through adulthood, supported by OEKO-TEX, FSC, and i-Size certifications.

The company monetizes through one-time unit sales priced from approximately €4.90 for accessories to €749.90 for premium systems, with free shipping in Germany above €50. It sells directly to consumers via its own multi-language Shopify e-commerce platform (hauck.de, available in five languages) and indirectly through a B2B dealer portal (b2b.hauck.de) serving retailers and distributors across 23 European countries. In February 2026 Hauck entered the United States for the first time, distributing the Arketa+ and Alpha+ high chair lines through Target, Walmart, and Amazon, and won the 2026 Parents Best for Baby Award for Best Wooden High Chair in its debut year. The product portfolio comprises 187 SKUs and is supported by a 'Gemeinsam Wachsen' developmental program with child development expert Dr. Jan-David Freund. Marketing relies on organic social channels, owned content, email, and earned media via industry awards such as the 2025 German Design Award.
