The German Design Award is considered to be the flagship prize of the German Design Council, one of the leading international centres of expertise in the field of design. It was founded some 70 years ago on the initiative of the German Bundestag (Parliament). Since then, the Council has been supporting companies in developing their brand and design strategies. At the same time, it has highlighted the importance of German design as a factor in economic success.

With its global orientation and international impact, it is one of the most prestigious awards in the design landscape across all industries. A product that receives this award is a trendsetter in terms of design. The NEW Tornado naturally focuses on the field of “medicine, rehabilitation, and healthcare.”

The engineers at DÜRR DENTAL have developed the NEW Tornado for the global market. It is characterized by high performance, durability, and efficiency, offering practices an energy- and cost-saving dental air supply.

The flow design of the air ducting ensures more efficient heat dissipation and protects critical components from heat stress. A soundproof hood can be added for particularly quiet operation when installed in treatment rooms. The compressor and hood feature a distinctive design that distinguishes the NEW Tornado as a quality product. Its inherent advantages—both technological and practical—are thus adequately reflected in its exterior appearance. 

Incidentally, it should be noted that the German Design Award is not the first prize that DÜRR DENTAL has scooped up recently. The company was named “Innovation Champion 2025” by WirtschaftsWoche, a leading German weekly magazine covering business topics, and Munich Strategy, a leading consultancy focused on construction, infrastructure, mechanical engineering, and private equity, as well as food/packaging industries. At the same time, DÜRR DENTAL took first place in the exclusive ranking of “Germany’s most innovative medium-sized companies. The globally active corporation was recognized not only for its long-standing tradition of innovation, but also for its future-oriented strategy and technological leadership.
