GUDE Systems honored with two Industry Awards at InfoComm 2026 in the USA

Cologne/Las Vegas, June 19, 2026 – GUDE Systems, the Cologne-based manufacturer of intelligent power distribution and monitoring solutions, won two industry awards in the USA in connection with InfoComm 2026, one of the world’s leading trade shows for the professional AV industry. Both honors were announced in Las Vegas: the Best of Show award from Installation magazine and the Most Innovative AV Installation Accessory award from Systems Contractor News (SCN).

SCN Installation Product Awards – Most Innovative AV Installation Accessory

GUDE Systems took top honors in the Most Innovative AV Installation Accessory category of the SCN Installation Product Awards 2026. The winners were revealed by the US trade publication Systems Contractor News the day before the InfoComm show floor opened in Las Vegas, as part of a ceremony recognizing products across eleven categories.

The Expert Power Control 8291-2 prevailed in a competitive field of AV products entered in its category, with a public voting of industry professionals ahead of the show.

“This is a true confirmation that reliability, innovation, and thoughtful engineering are being recognized by the people who actually use AV technology in the field every day,” Philipp GUDE, CSO at GUDE,  says. “A huge thank-you to everyone who voted for us, to our partners and customers, and to the whole GUDE team who made this possible.”

Best of Show at InfoComm 2026 – Installation Magazine

GUDE Systems’ Expert Power Control 8290-1 was named a Best of Show winner in the Installation category of this year’s awards, presented by Installation magazine, part of Future Publishing. The winners were confirmed shortly after the show and selected from products exhibited at InfoComm 2026.

The award is judged by a panel of industry experts and engineers who evaluate entries for innovation, technical excellence, practical value, and real-world impact. For GUDE Systems, the recognition also reflects the strong interest the company saw at InfoComm in both its current solutions and upcoming developments, including the Expert Power Control 8290-1.

“This recognition confirms that we’re focusing on the challenges that matter most to AV professionals,” John Palaszynski, Director of Sales North America explains. “That means improving service efficiency, strengthening cybersecurity, and simplifying large-scale AV infrastructures. A big thank you to our customers, partners, integrators, and everyone who visited us at InfoComm — your feedback, ideas, and challenges continue to shape what we build next, and do best.”
