Efacec has won two awards in the Product Design category at this year's Red Dot Design Award competition.
The Red Dot Design Award: Product Design dates back to 1955 and recognizes the best products for a given year. The international panel of experts is made up of specialists from a wide variety of sectors. This year, they evaluated the products entered in the competition in a process spanning several days and were guided by evaluation criteria such as formal product quality, ergonomics and longevity.
Efacec’s barrier mechanism for protecting level crossings, and the transformer with Efacec’s modular technology were the products awarded in the Industrial Equipment, Machinery and Automation subcategory.
The barrier solution has already been installed by Efacec in the Swedish railroads and is in use by the Swedish Railway Infrastructure.
