German Design Award Winner 2024
The d.u.h.Group and L.B. Bohle have received the German Design Award 2024 for the redesign of three machines:
- the tablet coater BFC 200,
- the BRC 100 dry granulator
- the QbCon® 1.
Another machine design from the d.u.h. Group for the company Albrecht Bäumer (a machine manufacturer for the foam industry) also received an award: the Contour V-blade.
In many branches of industry, little importance is attached to industrial design, with the idea that designers can take on this task themselves. However, the collaboration between the d.u.h.Group and L.B. Bohle shows that the design of production machines can have a decisive influence on the long-term success of a company.
In 2021, L.B. Bohle launched an initiative to redesign its entire product portfolio and commissioned the d.u.h.Group with this project. The focus was not only on aesthetic changes, but also on technical optimisation and redesigning the machines. The first three redesigned machines were presented at Interpack 2023, the leading trade fair for the packaging, pharmaceutical and process industries.
The feedback from trade fair visitors and employees was consistently positive. And the presentation also triggered the desired interest in the machines and the company. “It was precisely this ‘want-it-now’ feeling that we wanted to ignite in order to generate a high level of enthusiasm for the machine and the company L.B. Bohle,” reports Thorsten Helm, Head of Design at the d.u.h.Group.
“The machines have a trend-setting design that is completely new to the industry. Our systems immediately give the impression of being technical leaders. The high-quality workmanship emphasises our claim to be a premium manufacturer.”

The three machines were honoured with the prestigious German Design Award: The BRC 100 dry granulator and the QbCon® 1 were named “Winner” and the BFC 200 tablet coater “Special Mention”. The d.u.h.Group was also honoured with another “Winner” award for a machine from Albrecht Bäumer GmbH & Co KG. The Contour V-blade enables precise, two-dimensional contour cutting and also features a new design.
The German Design Award sets international standards for innovative design developments and competitiveness on the global market and confirms the design innovation and user-friendly orientation of these machines.
