ZIMMER GROUP WINS RED DOT AWARD AGAIN

ONE OF THE WORLD MARKET LEADERS IN HANDLING, ONCE AGAIN AT THE FOREFRONT IN PRODUCT DESIGN

In addition to product quality, product design has always been a high priority for the Zimmer Group. Thus, the company has now been honored at the renowned Red Dot Product Design Award for the third time after the years 2018 and 2019. In the process, the handling specialist was honored with the coveted seal of quality by the Red Dot DESIGN AWARD's expert panel in the Industrial Equipment, Machinery and Automation category for its gripper developed specifically for human-robot collaboration (HRC). The HRC-07 is one of the world's first electric 3-jaw centric grippers designed specifically for human-robot collaboration, i.e. for working with a collaborative robot or cobot. Back in 2015, Zimmer Group was one of the first manufacturers in the world to bring MRK-capable grippers to market, and this series has now been expanded with the HRC-07.

The award ceremony traditionally took place on June 20 at the Essen Opera House, the Aalto Theater. The Red Dot Design Award dates back to 1955 and is today the largest and most important design competition worldwide. The competition distinguishes between the three competition disciplines of product design, communication design and design concept. In 2021, designers and manufacturers from 70 nations submitted more than 18,000 objects to the competition.
