Specializing in safes, the company has forged its identity on its famous round key lock. Historical decoding of a flagship of the earthenware city. Within the Sarreguemines industrial sector, Haffner has always been part of the furniture. The company has employed up to 250 people between its premises in Moselle and Paris. It was one of the flagships of its activity, classified as a safe deposit box manufacturing company in France.
