BENELUX TROPHY FOR HOT DIP GALVANIZING 2023

With great pride, Zinkinfo Benelux now officially announces the laureates of the fourteenth edition of the Benelux Trophy for Hot Dip Galvanizing. From the numerous entries, the expert jury has awarded three extraordinary projects, each of which in its category does full justice to the possibilities, durability and security of hot-dip galvanizing. In addition, the award for circular construction was also presented across the three categories. The lucky winners received their trophies during Zinkinfo's networking event on Sept. 14 in Vlaardingen.

As with the previous edition in 2021, three projects were also awarded this year in three different categories: functional galvanizing, aesthetic galvanizing and duplex systems. The choice between aesthetic galvanizing and functional galvanizing stimulates the dialogue between executor and galvanizing, so that the client's expectations and the final result are better aligned. Moreover, the jury once again awarded the prize for the most sustainable, or circular, project. This once again underscores the industry's support for the principles of circular construction.

The proud winners are:

Category FUNCTIONAL ZINCING -. Zwijsen parking building

Category ESTHETICIZING -. Roof conservatory Agrotopia

Category DUPLEX - Kalmthoutse Heide fire tower

PRICE CIRCULAR BUILDING - The Stage

All participating projects are included in a publication that is freely available is through ZinkInfo Benelux.

In addition, all participating projects will also be highlighted in the upcoming edition of the  ZEKER ZINK Magazine. The Zinkinfo Benelux website has a page dedicated to each participating project.
