Brandient's two stands for Klarwin at ExpoApa 2026 — The Water Countdown hourglass and the Engineering Collection — won the Visitors' Choice Award
Bucharest, September 2026
The two stands Brandient conceived and designed for Klarwin at ExpoApa 2026 — Romania's largest water-industry exhibition, held at ROMEXPO in Bucharest on 8–10 September — won the Visitors' Choice Award, voted by the people who walked the floor.
Instead of more equipment and more screens, the main stand was built around The Water Countdown: a monumental hourglass measuring the shrinking window for action on water scarcity, drinking-water safety and wastewater. In the secondary hall, The Engineering Collection presented Klarwin's technologies less like a catalogue and more like pieces in a gallery.
