In January 2011, our company was placed first in the "industry + skilled trades" category of the iF Product Design Awards with the spray-coating line VEN SPRAY PERFECT. As a trend barometer for outstanding design achievements, the prize sets the trend for future developments.
Managing director Christian Nüßer: "Fantastic success for Venjakob. This proves that mechanical engineering and good design are not mutually exclusive; on the contrary, it can be complementary."
