Linde Gases, a division of The Linde Group, announced that its gas cylinder valve, EVOS™ Ci, has won the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design 2015.
Product entries are assessed on a number of criteria including degree of innovation, functionality, build quality, ergonomics, durability, ease-of-use, ecological compatibility, integration capabilities and degree of emotional connection to the product. The panel of 38 jurors comprised many of the most prominent and influential product designers globally, representing 25 countries.
The EVOS™ valve range represents a significant leap from standard gas industry valves, not only in its striking, state-of-the-art ergonomic design, but also in terms of safety and productivity benefits delivered. “We are delighted to receive this award from such an eminent product design jury”, said Colin Haden, head of Linde’s Centre of Excellence for Packaged Gases. “Linde has always played a pioneering role in terms of technology development within our industry. The Red Dot Award recognises EVOS as true breakthrough in valve design and a leap forward in performance, safety, ergonomics and efficiency.”
Linde will formally receive its award for EVOS on 29 June at the Red Dot Gala in Essen, Germany.
