Managing Director Patrick Schneider and Marketing Manager René Skotarczyk accepted the awards on behalf of the Ströher Group.


‘We can all be justifiably proud of the result of this year's “Product of the Year” award in Dillenburg, because for the first time we have achieved a double success with our Gepadi and Ströher brands!’ comments Managing Director Patrick Schneider. "This result is not a matter of course, but the result of hard work and the right instinct for trends, products and, above all, the market. The vote once again emphasises our high level of product expertise and the importance of the balconies and patios application area. For the first time, two outdoor products have won this category. Whether XXL design format in extra thickness or modern extruded functional ceramics for outdoor areas, the portfolio from Dillenburg is mature across all brands and meets the spirit of the times.
The "F + P Tiles and Slabs Product of the Year" product competition is one of the most popular product choices in the industry and has been an established institution in the industry for more than 10 years. In this year's "Product of the Year 2022" election, tile specialists and dealers and, for the first time, a jury of industry experts named and voted for the best products from the four product categories of tiles and slabs, sealants and mortar, covering constructions and substrates and accessories.

In the XXL outdoor format 100 x 100 x 2 cm in a puristic concrete look, Nexos 20 is the heavyweight among garden and patio tiles made of porcelain stoneware. Ideal for spacious and modern outdoor applications, Nexos 20 redefines the freedom of design and application. Not only in the format, but also the high-quality, solid-colored 2 cm full body, the rectified format precision and the sophisticated surface design with R/10-B slip resistance make the product a real highlight. The professionals from the field also shared this view and voted Nexos 20 in 1st place, making it the favorite product of 2022.
For Gepadi Nexos, this is already the second award for Product of the Year. In 2019, the Nexos series of home ceramics won the award, and this year it was the "big brother" Nexos 20 with its large-format garden and patio tiles.

True to the motto "Coarse ceramics that you can't tell!", Ströher is presenting the new product Roccia Next to industry experts. A new coarse ceramic outdoor concept in an elegant, contemporary design with the usual application safety and concept comfort. The combination of natural stone effects and a unique surface in three color variants and two formats makes Roccia Next a real eye-catcher. This very personal style does not go unnoticed by the experts and users in the industry.
With the choice of second place in the tiles and slabs category, the Roccia Next series is receiving great recognition. The result also shows that the outdoor functionality of extruded ceramics continues to be valued.
