Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu)
 
Elgi Equipments, one of the world’s leading air-compressor manufacturers, recently won the 2019 CII Design Awards for its AB ‘Always Better’ series oil free screw air compressor in the Industrial Design, capital goods category. The CII Design Excellence Awards, endorsed by the India Design Council, acknowledge and celebrate design and innovation in India, while aiming to create new paradigms of design and promoting a unique amalgamation of traditional and contemporary design.
 
Commenting on the win, Dr Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director, Elgi Equipments Ltd, said, “At Elgi, design thinking is at the core of effective strategy development and organizational change. We believe that innovation has evolved from being engineering focused to design focused and from product centricity to customer centricity. The Elgi AB ‘Always Better’ series is a disruption in oil free compressed air technology, offering customers a no-compromise, oil free solution at approximately 8-10 per cent reduced lifecycle costs when compared with prevailing oil free technology. With significantly lower maintenance and ease of use, customers will also be assured of reliable, high air purity for sensitive industry applications. From a design perspective, the AB series is customer centric and reflects our focus on product aesthetics, design and innovation.’’ 
 
With a clean, rectangular form, the AB Series oil free screw air compressor is largely defined by its functional parts. A filleted corner on the front face distinguishes the user interface from the rest of the air compressor. The canopy is designed to be symmetrical with azure blue panels replicating the color of water, signifying the underlying oil free technology. 
 
This year, over forty six products were shortlisted and exhibited at the CII Design Summit held in Goa. The products were judged across criteria ranging from innovation, user friendliness, aesthetics, coherence and sustainability, by a jury comprising of several eminent personalities from the design fraternity in India.
