As of today, it's clear: the world first from KÜBLER has won its third award! Following the SUCCESS 2022 Technology Award and the Rhineland-Palatinate 2023 Innovation Award, the innovative FUTURA multi-energy IR heating system for the climate-friendly and economical heating of hall buildings has now been recognized in the "Winner" category of the German Innovation Award 2023.

"We are incredibly pleased about this and are naturally also a little proud of our new development, which makes the heat turnaround in industrial and commercial operations economically feasible," says Thomas Kübler, Managing Director of the hall heating specialist in Ludwigshafen.

The high-calibre jury thus honored the particular originality, implementation and effectiveness of the new hall heating system, which can simultaneously use electricity, hydrogen and (biogenic) gases and also integrates the hall lighting. With this development, KÜBLER is breaking new, innovative ground and offering a solution that benefits both the users - hall operators in trade and industry - and the environment through its added value. FUTURA offers the economy a highly functional and affordable transformation path to a CO₂-free era.

"Year after year, the German Innovation Award shows that Germany knows how to successfully defend its reputation as a location for innovation. It makes the innovative strength of German SMEs visible across the board and shows how flexibly and quickly even smaller players are able to adapt to the rapidly changing requirements of the market, politics and global influencing factors," says Lutz Dietzold, Managing Director of the German Design Council, about the German Innovation Award.

The German Design Council has been operating as the world's leading competence center for communication and knowledge transfer in the fields of design, brand and innovation since 1953. It is part of the global design community with international offerings, support for young talent and memberships and has always helped to establish exchange and networks worldwide. Through events, congresses, competitions, jury meetings and expert groups, the German Design Council connects its members and numerous other international design and brand experts, promotes discourse and provides important impetus for the global economy.

  • Ludwigshafen, August 2023: Konrad Stockmeier, FDP member of the Bundestag from Mannheim, is a member of the Bundestag Committee for Climate Protection and Energy and his parliamentary group's rapporteur for the Building Energy Act (GEG), the so-called "Heating Act". He was involved in the negotiations on the GEG and is therefore familiar with this law. On Friday, he visited Thomas Kübler, founder and managing partner of KÜBLER GmbH, in Ludwigshafen. With his expertise as a specialist in large-capacity heating systems, the entrepreneur has been campaigning for months for commercial and industrial hall buildings to be given greater consideration in the GEG.
  • Ludwigshafen, 19.06.2020 | The Building Energy Act, or GEG for short, has long been eagerly awaited. The uniform, coordinated set of regulations for the energy requirements for new buildings, existing buildings and the use of renewable energies to supply heating and cooling to buildings is intended to bring together various laws on building energy efficiency and heat use. And thus significantly simplify the previously highly complex and difficult to understand landscape of energy-saving legislation for building owners and planners. Drafts of the law have been available since 2017. After endless postponements over legislative periods, the GEG was passed yesterday in the Bundestag.
