An energy-saving Aussie dishwasher has won the prestigious Good Design Award Gold Accolade at Australia's peak industry design awards, announced at a ceremony at The Star in Sydney.
Norris Industries’ win in the Product Design category was in recognition of the outstanding design and innovation of The Norris AP500 High Performance Commercial Dishwasher, a compact under bench dishwasher for commercial use.
Chair of the Norris Industries Board Tracey Freinberger told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “We’re still buzzing from the win!”
Managing Director at Norris Industries, Greg Gates said the award came out of high commitment to completely change the way a commercial dishwasher supports the busy work environment that is the Australian commercial kitchen.
“Norris Industries has been building and supplying reliable commercial glass and dishwashers to the hospitality industry for over sixty years,” said Mr Gates. “Our focus has always been built-to-last, reliable machines with lower energy consumption - three important things to any good hospitality operator”.
Running since 1958, the Good Design Awards are one of the oldest and most prestigious international design awards in the world, promoting excellence in design and innovation across 10 specific Design Disciplines, spanning 28 categories, including the commercial and industrial design category for which Norris Industries was recognised.
This year, the Good Design Awards attracted a record number of submissions, with close to 700 design projects evaluated.
The Good Design Awards Jury praised The Norris AP500 High Performance Commercial Dishwasher, highlighting “...innovative Australian design and ingenuity” and “a sustainable product with potential for big energy savings.”
“Receiving a Good Design Award at this level is a significant achievement given the very high calibre of entries received this year,” said Dr. Brandon Gien, CEO of Good Design Australia.
Mr Gates and the R&D team are thrilled with the prestigious award, saying “We reckon there’s nothing like it in the market – and it seems the judges of Good Design agree!”
