POLYVANTIS Celebrates Dual Victory at EPSE Awards During K Show Debut
- First Place for Design Excellence with Shanghai Aviation Tower
- Runner-Up for Innovation Excellence with La Bolla™ outdoor structure
- Marks a powerful debut year for POLYVANTIS as a leader in film and sheet solutions
Düsseldorf, Germany - POLYVANTIS, a global leader in high-quality polycarbonate and acrylic semi-finished products, proudly announces that it has received two honors at the 2025 EPSE (European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders) Awards—a standout achievement in its debut year at the K Show.
POLYVANTIS took first place in the Design category for its material contribution to the landmark Shanghai Aviation Tower and earned runner-up in the Innovation category for the visionary La Bolla™ outdoor furnishing concept.
“This recognition is deeply meaningful for POLYVANTIS in our very first year at the K Show,” said Sandeep Dhawan, CEO of POLYVANTIS. “Winning two EPSE Awards highlights the strength of our teams, our partners' trust, and our materials' versatility to deliver solutions that inspire, perform, and endure. It’s an exciting foundation for the future we are building together.”
Award for Design Excellence: Shanghai Aviation Tower
The Shanghai Aviation Tower project demonstrates the architectural possibilities of LEXAN™ EXELL™-D polycarbonate sheets, which were custom-formed to realize the tower’s curved curtain wall façade. Beyond its striking design, the façade delivers strength, thermal insulation, flame resistance, and weatherability, with POLYVANTIS supporting the project through technical expertise from wind-load calculations to on-site execution.
Award for Innovation Excellence: La Bolla™
La Bolla™, designed by Paolo Bottino, CEO of Natural House, showcases how LEXAN™ EXTRITE™ polycarbonate sheets enable outdoor spaces that combine elegance, durability, and resilience against weather extremes. The transparent spherical enclosures extend hospitality spaces year-round, with advanced abrasion resistance, UV durability, and long-lasting clarity.
The dual recognition cements POLYVANTIS as a trusted partner for customers seeking materials that balance aesthetics, functionality, and long-term performance.
POLYVANTIS invites attendees to its booth in Hall 8B, D17, to explore its award-winning solutions and discover how the company is shaping the future of film and sheet innovation.
