AS-Schneider received the Good Design Award 2015 for its double block & bleed pipeline ball valves of the Taurus Series, used in the oil and gas industry as well as the chemical and petrochemical industry.
The Good Design Award is the world’s oldest and most important award for industrial design which is awarded annually by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design in collaboration with the European Centre for Architecture, Art and Design. For the 65th anniversary of the coveted award, applications from 47 countries were received. The experts of the prize jury made their selection based on several thousand proposals – the Taurus Series completely convinced them. For support, AS-Schneider took the machine design company Design Tech on board.
“With the equally innovative and functional design concept, we succeeded in reproducing the properties of the Taurus Series perfectly – high quality, reliability and efficiency. We are pleased about the award, because with it, the joint efforts of all the AS-Schneider employees who are involved in the development, manufacturing and the services are acknowledged”, explains Rolf Kummer, MD of AS-Schneider Group.
