Strahlenbecher wins German Design Award Special 2022

Höhr-Grenzhausen, February 2022: Noble, luxurious and contemporary –
the Strahlenbecher from the glass specialist SAHM wins the
"German Design Award Special 2022" in the main category
"Excellent Product Design".
The Strahlenbecher impresses with
the effect of the cut glass, which allows the drink to shine brightly
thanks to the light refraction of the wedge structure. This perfectly
sets the scene for the luminosity and intensity of the drink in the glass.
The strong base of the glass guarantees stability when handling,
especially in gastronomy. The slim shape of the Strahlenbecher is a
real highlight not only for beer, but also for long drinks or non-alcoholics.
The design of the extraordinary glass comes from our Prague designer
Rony Plesl. Plesl has been working creatively for SAHM for many years,
and there is a close and trusting cooperation.
"We are extremely pleased about the highly regarded award,"
says Michael Sahm, Managing Director of the company.
"The Strahlenbecher will inspire our customers, be it as a slim beer glass,
as a water or cocktail glass. We know that a glass is an important ambassador
for the respective brand – because excellent design is also playing
an increasingly important role.”

New service: Digital relief printing from SAHM

Höhr-Grenzhausen, July 2021: SAHM, a leading international supplier of glasses for the beverage industry, has introduced a new digital printing process that produces excellent reliefs. What used to be possible only on glasses that were firmly blown or pressed into the glass mould is now a reality on any glass thanks to a revolutionary new printing technique. Even a single exclusive glass can be produced in this way. And without any moulding costs at all.
‘There are almost endless customisation options for customers who value a very special brand presence,’ says Michael Sahm, Managing Director of the renowned medium-sized company. ‘No matter what the occasion, for example company anniversaries, special events or in hospitality – every relief is artfully produced digitally by ink jet.’
The glasses produced by digital relief printing offer a unique feel to the hand and mouth and stand out clearly from conventional glasses. Digital relief printing delivers fast and extremely precise results, and the glasses are also suitable for use in restaurants and dishwashers.
Michael Sahm: ‘Even coloured products are possible; we are proud to be able to offer our customers this new technology. It puts us far ahead of the competition by offering the greatest possible individuality. Anything is possible, whether small or very small-scale series production or even entirely individualised, one-off glasses.’

Craftsman wins GOOD DESIGN® Award, Chicago

Elegant and yet simple and functional: The Craftsman tumbler from SAHM, developed for the urban craft beer scene, scored in Chicago with its innovative design and has won the GOOD DESIGN® Award. This is already the second distinction following the iF Design Award for the glass for the successful provider of glasses for the beverage industry.
With the Craftsman, SAHM has developed an expressive craft beer tumbler that provides the perfect pairing of sensory properties and functionality. The GOOD DESIGN® Award jury in Chicago was equally convinced and awarded the glass the coveted prize. “We are extremely pleased that the Craftsman has already been recognised a second time within such a short period of time,” reports Paul Goller, Managing Director Marketing & Sales at SAHM GmbH + Co. KG. SAHM designer Annette Neunzig developed the tumbler which with its curved shape accentuates the different aromas of beers in different ways and above all brings out the fruity and floral aroma of every craft beer. By directing the flow of beer in a concentrated stream, the glass guarantees drinking pleasure by simultaneously reaching all relevant taste receptors on the tongue. This produces a full and at the same time fresh taste experience. Its functionality makes the tumbler ideal for the urban bar scene. Handling and cleaning are especially easy. The Craftsman is machine made and comes in a 54 cl size.

With the Special Mention award, the committee honors products whose design is especially innovative. This is the third award for the glass intending for the tasting of craft beers, joining the ranks of the Red Dot Design award and the Chicago Good Design award.
