Scanstrut Wins Red Dot Award

April 21, 2026

Scanstrut, a global leader in outdoor technology, is proud to announce that its Ventura Series has been awarded a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026, one of the world’s most prestigious and internationally recognised marks of design excellence. The Ventura Series was recognised by the Red Dot Jury for its exceptional design quality, combining precision engineering, intuitive functionality and a refined, cohesive aesthetic. It delivers a fully integrated range of exterior utility solutions, including 12V power, USB-C charging, solar, water, TV and mains connections, all within a compact, low-profile and unified design language.

The Red Dot Award: Product Design is regarded as one of the world’s leading design competitions, established in 1955. Each year, an independent panel of international experts evaluates thousands of entries, assessing innovation, functionality, durability and design longevity. Award-winning products are recognised globally as benchmarks in their category.
Built on more than 40 years of engineering experience in demanding marine and outdoor environments, the Ventura Series carries forward Scanstrut core principles.

Key features of the Ventura Series include:

              • IP68 & IP69K waterproof protection, ensuring complete sealing against dust, heavy rain and high-pressure washdowns

              • Spring-loaded, click-shut lid with 90° hold functionality for ease of use

              • Marine-grade 316 stainless steel hardware for long-term corrosion resistance

              • UV-resistant materials engineered for prolonged outdoor exposure

              • Compact, standardised cut-out dimensions for simplified installation and faster production

              • Cohesive, premium design across all product variants

This latest recognition adds to an exceptional year for Scanstrut. The Ventura Series has also been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026, further reinforcing its position as a benchmark product in global design.

In addition, the range recently secured 1st Place in the Equipment Design category at the European Innovation Awards 2026, presented at CMT Stuttgart, highlighting its impact within the RV and leisure vehicle industry.

“Winning the Red Dot Award is a significant achievement for our team and a powerful validation of our commitment to design-led engineering,” said George, Head of Design at Scanstrut. “The Ventura Series builds on decades of experience in harsh marine environments, translated into a new context for RV and overland applications. To see it recognised at this level is incredibly rewarding.”

With multiple international awards now recognising its design, innovation and functionality, the Ventura Series firmly establishes Scanstrut as a leading force in premium outdoor and vehicle-based technology solutions.
