ASB GlassFloor Wins Bavarian SME Award 2025
Pioneering Innovation from the Chiemgau Region Recognized with Prestigious Business Award

Stein an der Traun / Munich, July 28, 2025 – A major honor for ASB GlassFloor: The innovative company from Stein an der Traun has been awarded the Bavarian SME Award 2025, presented Friday evening in the Senate Chamber of the Bavarian Parliament. The award, jointly presented by the Bavarian State Parliament and the European Economic Forum, recognizes exceptional innovation, entrepreneurial responsibility, and social commitment among small and medium-sized enterprises.

ASB GlassFloor impressed the jury with its unique glass sports flooring technology, which uses integrated LED systems to allow dynamic line markings at the push of a button—transforming everyday life in sports halls, universities, and training centers. In its advanced version, the surface becomes a digital stage, creating new possibilities for events, entertainment, and brand experiences.

“Our vision from the start was to provide athletes with a better, healthier surface, while making sports floors smarter, more flexible, and sustainable,” says Christof Babinsky, Managing Director of ASB GlassFloor. “Receiving the Bavarian SME Award is a huge recognition for our team. It shows that innovation and entrepreneurship can flourish even in rural regions.”

Today, the company’s patented technology is in use in over 30 countries—at major sporting events and in cutting-edge architecture. The award speech praised ASB’s international success, its commitment to digital transformation, and its ability to bridge technology, sport, and culture.

The Bavarian SME Award is one of the most important honors for mid-sized companies in Bavaria, recognizing those that drive sustainable development through business foresight and community engagement.
