Rosendahl Nextrom was awarded the Austrian State Prize for Innovation, the country’s highest recognition for outstanding achievements in research and development.
The award was presented in Vienna by Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer, Federal Minister for Economy, Energy and Tourism, who noted: “With high-precision manufacturing technologies and the use of artificial intelligence, Rosendahl Nextrom demonstrates how ‘Digitalisation made in Austria’ can set global standards.”
The awarded project, “AI-Enhanced Manufacturing Process for Twinax Cables”, combines high-temperature foam extrusion with an AI-based process controller. The result is insulation quality previously unattainable, designed to meet the extreme demands of modern data centres and AI supercomputing systems. The jury described the solution as a “key technology with the potential to become an industry standard.”
This innovation enables ultra-high-speed data transmission with minimal latency while reducing energy and material consumption, a significant contribution to the efficiency of data centres. According to Rosendahl Nextrom, the award is “more than just a prize, it recognises the passion, teamwork and engineering excellence that went into developing this solution.”
Leading cable manufacturers worldwide rely on Rosendahl Nextrom’s high-temperature foam lines for Twinax cable insulation. With the State Prize for Innovation, the company reinforces its position as a leading technology and solution provider for cable manufacturing, sending a strong signal for “Made in Austria” as a benchmark for innovation and quality worldwide.
