3nine’s APEX series has been honored with two European Product Design Awards, recognizing excellence in sustainable industrial product design and industrial air technology. The series received awards in the categories ECO DESIGN / Sustainable: Industrial Products and INDUSTRIAL / Energy: Heating and Air Conditioning Technology. These awards celebrate products that demonstrate outstanding design quality, functionality, innovation, and sustainability within their fields.
Developed by 3nine, the APEX series represents the latest generation of oil mist separators, building on more than 25 years of experience in separation technology. While introducing a new design and product platform, the series is based on a well-proven separation technology that has been continuously refined to meet modern demands for efficiency, sustainability, and improved industrial air quality.
The industrial design was created in collaboration with Etteplan Sweden AB. The design team included Lars Rapp (Lead Designer, Etteplan), Jörgen Larsson (Project Manager, Etteplan), Fredrik Ekblom (Product Design Engineer, 3nine), and Emanuel Holwaster (CTO, 3nine).
“We are proud and pleased to see the APEX series recognized with two European Product Design Awards. It is a strong confirmation of the hard work behind our products and of our focus on combining engineering expertise, sustainability, and design,” says Brad Eicher, CEO of 3nine.
The European Product Design Award is an international competition that recognizes outstanding product design across multiple industries. These awards further strengthen 3nine’s position as a leading provider of oil mist elimination solutions and industrial air quality systems.
