More than 300 international awards
Design awards from around the world and top marks for innovation continually find their way to the Black Forest. In a tough competitive environment, Hansgrohe AG collects internationally coveted titles every year. And that is great for you too as the recognised awards from independent judging panels underline the company's demand for quality. They are a reliable guide for those searching for outstanding products. For example, the mixer and shower manufacturer from the Black Forest has won the “Red dot – Best of the Best Design Award” several times, as well as the “iF Gold Product Design Award” and in 2010, the “Designpreis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland” – Germany's most prestigious official design award, regarded as “the award of all awards”.
Hansgrohe is a design leader in the sector
The “iF awards” from International Forum Design (iF) are among the most important indicators of product and design quality. Hansgrohe AG is regularly among the winners of iF competitions. Since 2008, the independent institution has also produced a ranking table, indicating companies’ level of success in the design competition for the iF award: Hansgrohe AG currently ranks 6th out of approximately 1,900 companies. In doing so, it is above top brands such as Daimler, Audi, Hewlett Packard, Nokia and Volkswagen and number one in the sanitation sector.
Our designers are also at the top of their game
