Nine iF Design Awards for AXOR and hansgrohe products

Schiltach, February 2018. Highest recognition for outstanding design achievements: a total of nine products by the AXOR and hansgrohe brands of the Hansgrohe Group have been distinguished with the iF Award 2018. The Black Forest bathroom and kitchen specialist currently holds sixth place in the iF ranking, making it the highest-ranking company in the sanitation industry. The Hansgrohe Group outperformed some 2,000 listed companies, ahead of prominent brand names such as Audi, BMW and Apple. An international jury of 63 experts evaluated 6,400 product entries from 54 countries in categories including quality of design, workmanship, degree of innovation, environmental compatibility and functionality.

“We are very pleased at having again been distinguished with a shower of iF DESIGN awards, and view this as a validation of our design philosophy. In collaboration with prestigious designers, we focus on delivering products of the highest quality, on successful product design and above all, on creating optimal customer value,” Jan Heisterhagen, Vice President Product Management, Hansgrohe SE says. “Innovations, such as our intuitive Select technology or our new high performance PowderRain spray make both showering and controlling the flow of water a true experience. Today, we are one of the leading trendsetters in bathroom and kitchen design, a fact also reflected by our position in the iF ranking.”
