Bavaria Yachtbau, BMW Designed Yachts Awarded

BMW Group DesignworksUSA and Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH, a leading yacht manufacturer in Europe, have been strongly repaid for their efforts in 2009, gaining several yacht industry design awards. There have been several innovative products introduced throughout the past year, including the redesigned Cruiser 55, the smallest motorboat Sport 28, and the entirely new Deep Blue line.

“We could have employed a genius from Italy to design some beautiful looking boats for us,”
Andres Cardenas, CEO of the BAVARIA GmbH, said in a release. “However, it’s not just about drawing pretty lines but also about integrating design into our manufacturing process. This is why we choose DesignworksUSA as they have the necessary know-how to achieve a harmonization between design and series production,” Cardenas adds.

“The quality of design consulting is characterized not only by designing creative concepts,” added Niko von Saurma, head of DesignworksUSA’s Munich studio. “In today’s economic climate it is more than ever the task of a design consultancy to offer comprehensive expertise with regard to processes and production methods in order to render intelligent design successful, above all when it comes to complex products such as those found in the mobility sector.”
