Architects’ Darling Awards 2025: Bronze for OBO

Innovation and appreciation: We at OBO are delighted at the Architects’ Darling Award 2025 in BRONZE in the category “Fastening technology”. We are very proud of this outstanding achievement. With the 15th Architects’ Darling Awards, leading manufacturers and brands of the construction industry were once again honoured. Also known as the Oscars of the construction industry, the awards are groundbreaking for the entire industry. An expression of genuine appreciation for those transforming visions into reality.

The awards are presented based on Germany’s most extensive industry survey: the Heinze survey, with over 2,200 architects and expert planners voting for around 200 manufacturers and brands in 2025. Their opinion serves as a barometer for quality, service and future orientation – an approach that makes the Architects’ Darling Awards unique, as the users are the ones making the decisions.

“Participation was once again high and provided valuable insights,” summarises Thomas Wagner from Heinze market research. Wagner also emphasises: “This gives manufacturers clear guidance, while planners benefit from practical ideas.” According to him, the bridge between market monitoring and actual practical relevance is stronger than ever.

The Architects’ Darling Awards not only honour outstanding achievements and production innovations. They also stand for a shared commitment to take architecture, sustainability and quality of use in Germany to a new level. They embody premium standards in design, technology and sustainability that inspire the construction industry to push their current limits. In a time where construction projects are more complex, regulatory requirements stricter and environmental responsibility non-negotiable, the Architects’ Darling Awards serve as a guidepost for the entire industry.
