Excellent design – Red Dot Award 2025

A strong sign of our development expertise: our OCX series, identical in construction to the Kaffee Partner BARISTA Velluto, has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2025!

The international jury was impressed by the coffee machine's purist design, high-quality materials, and intuitive user interface via the large 10.1-inch touch display. Particular emphasis was placed on a well-thought-out design that seamlessly combines technology, ease of use and design – in line with our development philosophy.

“The award is a great confirmation for our team and our work.”

With polished aluminum, tempered glass, chrome accents, and harmonious ambient lighting, the Gerhardt OCX/BARISTA Velluto stands for design quality at the highest level – and will be on display at the Red Dot Design Museum Essen in the future.
We are proud to be part of this successful project.

A Great Evening with Partners: Visit from TSV Raidwangen 1908

Yesterday evening, we had the pleasure of welcoming some very special guests: the board members and numerous players from the 1st and 2nd teams of TSV Raidwangen 1908 joined us for a memorable get-together. The atmosphere couldn’t have been better – full of great conversations, good vibes, and genuine club spirit.

Even though the beer ran out faster than expected, it didn’t dampen the mood. There was laughter, engaging discussions, and a shared celebration of our partnership – a clear sign of how meaningful and vibrant this connection truly is.

We’d like to sincerely thank our guests for the visit and are looking forward to many more moments like this. This is what real partnership feels like – authentic, warm, and full of energy!
