  • Innovation award for sliding solutions in the Zurich economic area

    Innovation award for sliding solutions in the Zurich economic area

    Hawa Sliding Solutions, based in Mettmenstetten, is the winner of the Prix SVC Wirtschaftsraum Zürich 2024 organised by the Swiss Venture Club(SVC) in Gümligen. An independent, regional jury of experts selected the global provider of sliding solutions from five finalists, according to a press release.

    Second and third place went to Schneider Umweltservice from Meilen and RepRisk from Zurich. LUZI from Dietlikon (4th place) and Hauenstein AG from Rafz (5th place) also reached the final.

    Jury president Christopher Blaufelder, Partner at McKinsey & Company Switzerland, recognised the quality and innovative strength of Hawa Sliding Solutions. “It shows that sliding doors are far more than just practical building elements. They make entire room sections invisible, transform them into design elements and combine functionality with aesthetics at the highest level,” he is quoted as saying in the press release.

    According to the family-run company, 240 employees at two locations create sliding solutions for furniture, doors, partition walls and façades. “Our solutions inspire architects, designers and fabricators to come up with ideas that they successfully realise together with us.”

    The Swiss Venture Club has awarded the regional SME prize for the ninth time. According to the independent association for the promotion and support of Swiss SMEs, the award is based on various criteria such as innovative products, services, corporate culture, quality of employees and management as well as a sustainable track record.

  • New solutions for hinged and folding-sliding doors

    New solutions for hinged and folding-sliding doors

    Hawa Sliding Solutions has expanded its range with a new generation of fittings for swing and folding sliding doors. The new Hawa Concepta III turn-and-slide fitting extends the wide range of variants of the Hawa Folding Concepta III, explains the Mettmenstetten-based company, which specialises in sliding solutions for rooms, furniture and façades, in a press release. When closed, the hinged and folding sliding doors from Hawa look like a wall. With Hawa Concepta III, they can be rotated by 90 degrees, folded and inserted into a recess at the side.

    They can be opened and closed using a handle or a few touch points. “Everyone will get it right from the start,” explains Matthias Rothbrust from the Hawa innovation team in the press release. The doors are guided into and out of the side recesses without play using magnets.

    Hawa also acquired the Barcelona-based Klein Group in mid-October. The internationally active specialist for sliding solutions will strengthen Hawa’s portfolio and market position, Hawa writes in a corresponding press release. Klein’s locations and brands will also be retained under the Hawa umbrella.

    Hawa Sliding Solutions is one of five companies nominated for this year’s Prix SVC Wirtschaftsraum Zürich. The prize from the Swiss Venture Club(SVC) honours innovative companies in the region for outstanding achievements with great economic potential. It will be awarded on 26 November.
