Innovation is more than just a buzzword – it is the key to solving the challenges of our time. The German Innovation Award recognizes products, technologies and services that create real added value – for users, for industries and for the environment. The award puts the spotlight on ideas that inspire, think ahead and have a sustainable impact. The high-caliber jury sees such sustainable added value in the zeroUltraone UHPFRC components from MAUDERLI AG. MAUDERLI AG is Winner in the category Excellence in Business to Business, Building & Elements. The “Winner” award is presented for innovations that advance the respective industry through their originality, implementation and effectiveness.
The jury justified its decision as follows:
“Many components in infrastructure construction are heavy, resource-intensive and cause high emissions during transportation and production. MAUDERLI AG offers a convincing solution with its custom-made components made of ultra-high-performance fiber composite material (UHPFRC), which impress with their low weight, recyclability and high durability. The clever material composition and optimized production enable a significant reduction in resources and emissions, while at the same time facilitating handling on the construction site. This pioneering combination of sustainability, efficiency and robustness sets the project apart and makes it a trend-setting development for modern construction practices.”
MAUDERLI AG has already won the 2024 Innovation Award from the Central Switzerland Chamber of Commerce and Industry. At the German Innovation Award, MAUDERLI AG’s innovation has now also made its mark on the international stage. With 460 submissions from 27 countries, the German Innovation Award 2025 achieved a great response worldwide. The German Design Council has been operating as the world’s leading competence center for communication and knowledge transfer in the fields of design, brand and innovation since 1953.
We are delighted that our vision of manufacturing components from UHPFRC for infrastructure construction is catching on in the market and that we are already supplying Europe’s largest infrastructure projects after such a short time. With our components, we offer completely new possibilities in the planning and execution of infrastructure projects. We are revolutionizing the construction industry with our components.
CEO Christoph Mauderli is delighted with the international recognition of Switzerland’s innovative strength in the construction industry:
“We had a vision – and we believed in it. The fact that this vision is now a reality, that our building elements from UHPFRC are being used in Europe’s largest construction projects and that inquiries are coming in from all over the world is beyond anything we could have imagined. Right from the start, we were aware that we were creating something completely new with UHPFRC – a sustainable solution with real added value for the construction industry. The award in this global tender is not only a great honor for my team and me, but also impressive confirmation that our path has paid off. Our belief in revolutionizing the construction industry with UHPFRC components was right – and it fills us with pride that our innovation is now internationally recognized.”
