Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 25: Hafele India, a global leader in interior solutions, has achieved a significant industry milestone with the successful delivery of the world’s tallest movable wall at the Convention & Exhibition Center of ONGC in Goa. Standing at an impressive 22 meters and spanning 48.1 meters in width, the installation represents a breakthrough in engineering precision, spatial flexibility, and high-performance architectural solutions.
Designed to enable seamless transformation of large convention spaces, the movable wall delivers 57 dB sound insulation, ensuring superior acoustic performance while allowing spaces to be configured efficiently based on evolving requirements. Built with 1500 mm wide panels, the system has been engineered for smooth movement and seamless functionality at scale. The project opens opportunities for future phases involving similar interior solutions, reflecting the potential for continued collaboration on large-scale infrastructure requirements.
Speaking on the milestone, Frank Schloeder, Managing Director, Hafele South Asia, said: “This is a significant milestone for Hafele India and a strong reflection of our ability to execute complex, high-performance projects at scale. This project showcases the power of Co-Creation & Co-Engineering, where close collaboration and expertise come together as we continue to push boundaries in support of world-class infrastructure in India.”
Adding to this, Ashish Aundhkar, Business Head – Partitions & Automatics, Hafele India, said: “Delivering a solution of this scale required precise planning and coordination across multiple teams and interfaces. The system has been engineered as a large-format movable wall solution designed to handle significant span and height requirements, while ensuring strong acoustic performance and controlled sealing for stability. A precision track-switching mechanism enables smooth and reliable movement of panels, allowing the space to be reconfigured efficiently based on operational needs.”
A strong example of Hafele’s Co-Creation & Co-Engineering concept, the project was brought to life through close collaboration between C. P. Kukreja Architects, Engineers India Limited (EIL), VRC, and Hafele India. At Hafele, Co-Creation & Co-Engineering is a philosophy of working closely with customers and project stakeholders to jointly develop customised, purpose-driven solutions tailored to unique project requirements. The ONGC Convention & Exhibition Centre project stands as a classic example of this approach, bringing together diverse expertise to deliver a life-size, high-performance solution that reinforces the brand purpose of “Maximising the Value of Space. Together”.
