Pfleiderer product and trade-fair stand nominated for the German Design Prize
Neumarkt, August 9, 2010 – The Bavarian State Ministry for Economics has nominated the trade-fair stand of Pfleiderer’s Business Center Western Europe for the Design Prize 2011 of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Pfleiderer subsidiary Duropal has also been nominated for the competition – by the Federal Ministry for Economics – for its product HPL-SolidColor. With these two nominations, the manufacturer of engineered wood can finally be regarded as one of the top companies in the field of product and communication design.
Pfleiderer has now been nominated for the highest official German design award four times within just two years – following a nomination for each of the subsidiaries Thermopal and Duropal last year. “We show the way in the market with our innovations and design expertise. This is demonstrated by our numerous nominations for the German Design Prize,” stated Michael Wolff, Managing Director of Business Center Western Europe.
Sponsored by the Federal Ministry for the Economy and organized by the Design Council, the German Design Prize has been awarded for more than 40 years for international top performance in the area of communication and product design. The examples of outstanding product and communications design submitted by the economics ministries of the federal states will be assessed by an independent jury on August 23 and 24, 2010. The official prize giving will be on February 11, 2011. The German Design Prize is regarded as the “prize of prizes” because only examples of product or communication design can be submitted that have already been recognized in national or international competitions.
