The new ArciTech drawer system has now attracted two coveted awards: the IF Product Design Award 2012 and the OWL Innovation Prize 2011. Both accolades acknowledge the product’s outstanding qualities, its design as well as the overall concept, including the newly constructed production facility at company headquarters in Kirchlengern/Bünde.

In the IF Product Design Award 2012, ArciTech came through against a competent international field of competitors. The award honours outstanding design achievements for volume products that have not been on the market for more than three years or will go into mass production in the award year. The IF Design Award is regarded world-wide as a seal of quality for design excellence.

The OWL Innovation Prize goes to innovative products, services and processes from the Ostwestfalen Lippe region. Hettich received a special prize for the new ArciTech drawer system. The jury felt that in a bold process and with the biggest investment in company history, a completely new drawer system had been developed that sets new standards with its incredibly smooth running action, high stability and broad product line-up based on a single platform, while also revolutionising previous developments.
