HBI wins GO FUTURE AWARD 2025

For the third time, we have proudly conferred the GO FUTURE AWARD, a prestigious prize recognizing future-oriented digitalization. The winner of the 2025 award is the renowned window construction specialist HBI Holz-Bau-Industrie GmbH & Co. KG, based in Hemsbünde, Germany.

With over 60 years of experience in window and door manufacturing, HBI is known for delivering high-quality, customized solutions across all material combinations. A particularly flexible production concept enables the company to meet unique customer requirements while maintaining industrial-scale manufacturing efficiency.

The decisive factor in selecting the Lower Saxony-based window manufacturer was its outstanding digital transformation, specifically the consolidation of two ERP systems into 3E-LOOK as the central platform and core of its IT architecture. This transition to a unified ERP system has eliminated data redundancy, improved data quality, and significantly reduced maintenance costs. As a result, HBI has achieved greater efficiency across all areas of its value chain.

The award ceremony took place on February 13 as part of the 12th NETZWERK PARTNERTAG at the Voith Arena in Heidenheim. HBI Managing Director Frank Rosenau and IT Manager Thorsten Krüger proudly accepted the award.

In addition to the honor, the prize includes a monetary award, which is donated to social initiatives. HBI has chosen to support Rotenburger Tafel e.V. and the Fidelius hospice organization. “We want to use the prize money not only to provide financial assistance but also to recognize the invaluable work of volunteers, as both the food bank and hospice services depend on their dedication,” says Frank Rosenau.

Each year, the GO FUTURE AWARD celebrates exceptional achievements in digitalization with 3E-LOOK, acknowledging companies that set new standards in the industry.
