We are delighted to share that Acerinox Europa has received the Gold Award in the Market Development category at the 2025 Stainless Steel Industry Awards for the Vertex Keg, a groundbreaking product developed by THIELMANN using Acerinox duplex stainless steel, drawing on their expertise and insights into the material’s properties and suitability for this unique application.
The Vertex Keg represents a major innovation in beverage packaging — it is the world’s first and only duplex stainless steel keg, offering up to 30% less weight and 30% greater sustainability compared to traditional 304 stainless steel kegs. These advantages make it easier to handle, more efficient to transport, and more environmentally responsible, all while maintaining the trusted THIELMANN strength and quality that brewers and beverage producers rely on.
This recognition reflects the value of collaboration and shared innovation between industry leaders. By combining Acerinox’s advanced stainless steel with THIELMANN’s engineering and product development expertise, the Vertex Keg sets a new benchmark for sustainable performance in stainless steel applications.
We warmly congratulate Acerinox Europa for this outstanding achievement and are proud to see the Vertex Keg recognized as a symbol of progress for the stainless steel and beverage industries alike.
