4B AG<\/a> , based in Hochdorf, is one of the winners of the Innovation Award 2020\/21, which was presented for the first time by the Swiss Institute for Quality Tests ( SIQT<\/a> ). The award is based on the number of patents held by Swiss companies between 2017 and 2019. The jury took into account data from both the Swiss Patent Office and those from foreign patent offices. The winners of the prize are companies or research institutions that \u201chave an above-average score\u201d in their segment or in a CPC class (Cooperative Patent Classification), explains the SIQT<\/a> in a press release.<\/p>\n

4B AG is continuously developing new products and services. For this purpose, the window manufacturer operates its own innovation department with product management, development and a test laboratory. One of the company’s developments is a threshold-free balcony door. However, 4B also researches the topic of intelligent windows, for example. “Windows are currently becoming more and more intelligent and will be able to carry out increasingly smart functions in the future,” the company explains in a press release<\/a> . Intelligent windows should, for example, increase energy efficiency and simplify the handling and maintenance of windows.<\/p>\n

4B is owned by the Bachmann family and was created in 1896 from the joinery of the same name. The company employs more than 660 people and most recently achieved annual sales of around 170 million francs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
