- A heavyweight in the industry opts for a corporate partnership with the emerging craftsmanship award
- On May 24, 2024, the best German roofing companies will be honored in Bielefeld
Gütersloh, February 22, 2024 - A good start to the year for the ambitious team at DACHKRONE: With the renowned company PREFA, Europe's leading manufacturer of roof, solar, and facade systems has decided to participate in the German Roofing Award 2024. The company is a true heavyweight in the industry, considered a trendsetter for the entire industry, and will be sponsoring the award ceremony for the first time on May 24, 2024. The German Roofing Award will be presented for the third time this year and is the largest event of its kind in German craftsmanship. PREFA Aluminiumprodukte GmbH has been successful throughout Europe for more than 75 years in the development, production, and marketing of aluminum roof, solar, and facade systems. The PREFA Group employs around 700 people in 19 countries. The production of over 5,000 high-quality products takes place exclusively in Austria and Germany. Annually, 3,200 installation partners are trained in 20 training centers across Europe. The traditional company, with around 289 million euros in revenue (2021), is part of the corporate group of industrialist Dr. Cornelius Grupp, which employs over 8,000 people worldwide in more than 40 production sites. Urs Nies, Managing Director of the German Roofing Award, is thrilled with the market leader's inaugural commitment: "PREFA and the slogan 'Strong as a Bull' are true icons in the roofing industry, known by everyone in the field. For DACHKRONE, it is, of course, a great symbol that such a globally renowned company recognizes the importance of the German Roofing Award for the industry and has chosen to enter into a partnership."
The German Roofing Award honors the best roofers, sheet metal workers, and carpenters in Germany. After just two years, the image campaign for the craft has already become an integral part of the roofing industry - which generates around 16 billion euros annually. The DACHKRONE is advertised annually by the professional magazine dach+holzbau (Bauverlag, Gütersloh) and by Dachdeckermarkt24, the e-commerce platform for manufacturers and products related to roofing. After two successful years, the DACHKRONE is already considered the largest event in the craft industry and will take place next year on May 24 at the Lokschuppen Bielefeld. Around 600 guests from crafts, industry, and the press are expected to attend.
