Gold at the ARCHITECTS’ DARLING® Award 2026

Our STÖBICH fire safety advert was awarded gold in the ADVERTISEMENTS category at the ARCHITECTS’ DARLING® Awards.

On 5 November 2026, the 16th ARCHITECTS’ DARLING® Awards were presented at the Congress Union Celle. During a festive gala, Heinze honoured leading manufacturers and brands in the construction industry. The awards are based on the evaluations of around 1,900 architects and specialist planners, as well as the judgement of an independent expert jury. More than 200 manufacturers and brands were assessed, and the results also provide them with feedback from their target audiences.
We successfully took part in the competition with an advert. The creative challenge was to visually capture the essence of what our textile fire protection stands for: innovative structural fire protection solutions, where sometimes just a few millimetres make all the difference. The fact that this concept has now been awarded gold is a wonderful endorsement of our creative work, good ideas and the courage to break new ground, even in B2B communication.
We are delighted to have won the ‘Oscar of the construction industry’ and feel honoured to have been awarded the Golden Phoenix alongside international giants such as Schüco and Villeroy & Boch. The coveted trophy stands for outstanding achievements and, at the same time, for the appreciation shown to us by our target audiences.
