KHS wins German Design Award

KHS's ClearLine machine design recently won a special mention for its exceptional design quality in the Industrial Goods and Materials category at the 2014 German Design Award. Highly esteemed both within and outside Germany, the German Design Award is awarded once a year by the German Design Council, a body that has been helping mold the face of German design for 60 years. The awards are normally presented to individual products, which makes KHS' ClearLine system winning a prize all the more unusual. When developing the uniform ClearLine design for KHS machinery, great importance was attached to producing a design that fully met various aesthetic, tactile and ergonomic specifications. The focus was also on simplifying functions and reducing the number of parts to improve clarity, cut down on the maintenance and cleaning effort, optimize the hygienic design, and enhance transparency.
