EMKA: EMKA wins German Innovation Award

The German Innovation Award recognizes products, projects, and breakthrough accomplishments that significantly enhance life through innovation and progress. EMKA is one of the award winners in 2024. The world market leader based in Velbert, Germany, outperformed the competition with its 180° screw-on hinge without a hinge pin.

The jury was particularly impressed by the screw-on hinge that doesn‘t require a hinge pin, as it can be assembled without any tools in a matter of seconds. The two identical hinge halves are inserted into each other in the 270° position and then swung to the 180° position. Both parts are now firmly connected, even without a hinge pin. Using countersunk screws positioned at a 180° angle, the hinge is now properly installed at the intended location.

The hinge is also cost-effective, as it is cheaper than traditional screw-on hinges. Additionally, customers have the option to select from three different materials: polyamide, zinc, and stainless steel. The appearance and arrangement of holes are exactly the same as the traditional solution using a hinge pin. This feature ensures a smooth and effortless replacement in already installed cabinet systems.
