Himel Wins Technology Excellence Award, Introducing Innovation to Everyday Electrical Products
Hong Kong, (ANTARA/PRNewswire) - Himel has successfully secured an award at the Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2026 in the Green Technology – Manufacturing category through its NERIO Series electrical devices.
The award is presented to companies and organisations that continuously develop technology and set new benchmarks in innovation. One of the key advantages of the NERIO Series lies in its paint-free manufacturing technology, which makes the production process more environmentally friendly, even for electrical products used in daily life.
For Himel, efforts to preserve the environment can begin with small products used every day, such as switches. Rather than viewing sustainability as an issue applicable only to large-scale technology, NERIO brings these principles to products frequently used by the public in their daily home lives.
According to Wenjie Qi, General Manager of Himel, this award reflects the company’s approach to sustainability. “The principles of sustainability are truly felt when they are present in everyday life,” said Qi. “Therefore, we do not only consider the manufacturing process, but also the durability of the product, its suitability for home spaces, and its benefits for daily needs. NERIO takes all these factors into account.”
Himel’s attention to everyday needs is also reflected in various other products and initiatives. One such initiative is the “My Dream Home” campaign, which stems from the simple idea that a home is not just a place to live, but a place where the heart finds rest. Through this campaign, Himel invites the public to view a home more personally—as a space filled with loved ones, precious moments, and hopes to be realised.
This concept is also evident in Himel’s evolving range of home electrical products. The Altivo Series offers switches with more attractive designs for daily use. Meanwhile, Himel’s award-winning electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provide a more practical and intelligent experience at home. Through its global portfolio, Himel continues to provide reliable and affordable products, adapting to changing consumer needs—ranging from design and comfort to modern lifestyles.
According to Qi, the ability to maintain a balance between these various aspects is key for Himel in developing a product portfolio that meets the needs of every market.
“We do not offer a uniform solution in every market,” said Qi. “We need to understand the real needs of homeowners, electricians, and partners, and then develop products that truly meet those requirements. Reliability and affordability remain priorities, but consumer needs for design, comfort, and new ways of using energy are also evolving. Therefore, our global product portfolio must be able to integrate all these aspects without neglecting affordability for the consumers we serve.”
Founded in Spain in 1958, Himel is a global electrical brand operating under the “Powering Infinity” initiative. The award received by the NERIO Series is the latest milestone in this journey, demonstrating that carefully designed product choices, even in the smallest household details, contribute to a better everyday life.
