Record cabinet nominated as a Business Innovator: Why the furniture makers do without purchased seals
Unterkrumbach, January 2026 - A special piece of furniture from Hersbrucker Alb is causing a stir among experts: the new record cabinet from M?belmacher has been nominated as a "Business Innovator" by the German Innovation Institute (diind). But while the award confirms the high quality and sophisticated design of the furniture, Managing Director herwig Danzer is sending a clear signal against the widespread practice of commercial seals of approval.Real recognition for the record cabinet
The nomination for Business Innovator is based on an analysis of the company's innovative strength and public perception. Special mention was made of the record cabinet, which "sets new standards in furniture design" and combines functionality with aesthetic appeal. For the furniture makers, this is confirmation of their work at the interface between traditional craftsmanship and modern high-end requirements.
Criticism of "marketing packages" for awards
Despite the joy of the nomination, the M?belmacher deliberately decided against acquiring the official seal (here they describe the background in the sustainability blog). They would have had to pay several thousand euros to use the title for advertising purposes. "Our record cabinet impresses with its inner values and precision craftsmanship, not with a paid logo on the website," emphasizes herwig Danzer. "We prefer to invest this budget directly in the quality of our solid wood furniture, in sustainable projects or even records."
The team had a similar experience with the "Innovation Champion 2025" award from FOCUS-Business. Here, too, there were certificates with no meaning for customers unless expensive marketing packages were booked.
Transparency and genuine sustainability
The company's previous awards, such as the German Sustainability Award 2025, show that true recognition does not cost a fee. The furniture makers remain true to their path of total transparency: anyone who chooses a record cabinet or a solid wood kitchen from Unterkrumbach should know that the focus here is on honest craftsmanship and not "vanity metrics".
The award-winning record cabinet is far more than just a piece of storage furniture: it is a technically optimized solution for discerning vinyl collectors, made from regional wood and perfectly matched to modern hi-fi systems. The size, type of wood, style and technical features are designed together with the customer and lovingly made to order.
