On 18 November 2019, the ten winners of the Esslingen District Innovation Award were honoured. KURZ Karkassenhandel was honoured for its commitment in the field of rubber asphalt. "That was just the beginning," says Managing Director Hanna Schöberl. "An award like this also encourages us to press ahead with the topic of rubber-modified asphalt." The Esslingen district innovation prize is awarded every two years to companies in the district that dare to try something new or bring creative ideas to realisation maturity.
