Keramischer OFENBAU wins Lower Saxony foreign trade award

The award recognises the outstanding international market performance achieved by the German manufacturer of high efficiency ceramic kilns.

Keramischer OFENBAU (KOG), a leading German manufacturer of high-efficiency ceramic kilns, has been honoured with the Lower Saxony Foreign Trade Award for its excellent performance in international markets.

Olaf Lies, the regional Minister for Economics, Transport, Building and Digitalisation, presented the award to the company’s managing directors Thomas Alten and Dave McGuinness during the Hannover Messe Foreign Trade Day in April.

Keramischer OFENBAU prevailed against the other candidates due to its outstanding performance in a number of foreign markets, largely as a result of the high energy efficiency of its range of gas, electric and 100% hydrogen-ready kilns for firing tiles, sanitaryware, tableware and technical ceramics. Keramischer OFENBAU has invested constantly in innovation in recent years to improve the level of excellence of its solutions, especially EnerViT technology which allows for energy savings of up to 50%.

Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, the company has not only maintained its global position but has even succeeded in improving it, overcoming supply chain difficulties and proving itself to be a strong and reliable partner.
