Werkzeug & Formenbau – Ehrenmedaille
Every two years, at Moulding Expo, the Werkzeug & Formenbau – Ehrenmedaille, an honory medal for tool, pattern and mould makers, is awarded for special achievements in the industry.
The medal is awarded by an independent jury, including representatives from the associations VDWF, VDMA, VDW and the WBA Tooling Academy Aachen (WBA). The award is not intended to honour a completed life's work of the honoured - rather, it is intended to be an incentive to continue to make good things happen for the industry and to be a role model and beacon for young people in particular.
