Husqvarna Group wins another grand slam at the red dot awards

July 18, 2013–This year, Husqvarna Group received six prestigious Red Dot design awards for the high design quality of its Husqvarna
and Gardena products. Three out of the six awards were in the "best of the
best" distinction. The red dot design
award is one of the most prestigious international design awards, founded in
1955 by Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany. This year, the jury
assessed 4,662 products in 19 different categories. Each product is rated on
criteria such as innovation, functionality, self-explanatory, quality and
environmental compatibility.

”We are deeply honored
receiving as many as six awards this year. Winning three Red Dot: best of the best is really an
achievement, showing that our focus on humanized technology is appreciated on a
global scale. Design makes a difference," says Towe Ressman, vice-president, global design, at Husqvarna Group. “We also appreciate
that the jury awarded our efforts to protect the environment, with our recently
launched battery-powered Husqvarna range that not only has no direct emissions,
the products are lightweight and silent as well.”
