The highly innovative and multi-patent pending EVOS™ has undergone extensive international, end-user research and, in a departure from traditional efforts in gas industry hardware design, Linde elected to collaborate with more leading-edge product designers in order to deliver the best user experience in terms of functionality, technical advancement and ergonomic design. Their chosen
partner, German design firm, Indeed Innovation GmbH, helped Linde deliver a truly unique and evolutionary valve design to the market.
“We are delighted to receive this award from such an eminent product design jury,” said Colin Haden, Head of Linde’s Centre of Excellence for Packaged Gases. Linde has always played a pioneering role in terms of technology development within our industry. The Red Dot Award recognises EVOS™ as true breakthrough in valve design and a leap forward in performance, safety, ergonomics and efficiency.”
