Heinz Dürr Award 2024

Technology meets team spirit

Heinz Dürr Award for exceptional commitment

Particularly innovative, customer-oriented, or sustainable: Once again this year, The Dürr Group honored outstanding achievements by its employees with the Heinz Dürr Award. Karoline Dürr, daughter of award's initiator Heinz Dürr, presented the award to the speakers of the winning teams together with her mother Heide Dürr.

Sustainability category

A NERVOUS SYSTEM FOR THE PAINT SHOP

Painting 30,000 car bodies for free in terms of energy? Sounds impossible, but it’s not – thanks to EcoQPower. Similar to a nervous system in the human body, this innovation interconnects all components of a paint shop. The result: Maximum energy efficiency, minimum environmental impact – and a Heinz Dürr Award!

Innovation category

PUT TO THE TEST

Unlike conventional vehicle functions, driver assistance systems are only tested at the end of the line on a random basis – and not at all during main inspections. And yet, a failure of these systems can be quite dangerous. This is why this winning team has developed a test stand that can also be used to put the entire sensor environment to the test. Safety first!

BRILLIANT INNOVATION

Innovative painting technology is Dürr’s showpiece. To keep it that way, these colleagues have developed a new generation of atomizers – and won a Heinz Dürr Award with it. Watch the video to find out what makes the EcoBell4 so special.

SAME SHELL, DIFFERENT CORE

A slide-in unit with the same dimensions as older measuring systems but containing the latest measuring technology – that was the idea. The intention behind it: To be able to replace the measuring technology previously used in balancing systems simply and easily with modern technology. True to the motto: Turning old into new!

Customer Experience category

THE AIR IS CLEAN

Although Kia complies with the exhaust emission requirements of the South Korean city of Gwangju, local residents are increasingly annoyed. This shows: There is still room for improvement. This winning team was not only able to impress Kia with their combined solution, but also the jury of the Heinz Dürr Award. Watch the video to find out what it looks like – but this much can already be revealed: The air is (now) clean!
