Proxima is Giesse’s ultra-slim three-wing hinge, part of the Quanex group, designed for aluminium entrance doors with European and R groove profiles. Thanks to its advanced technology and high build quality, Proxima has won the prestigious 2025 Awards del Serramento in the “Accessories and Hardware” category.
What are the Serramento Awards?
The Serramento Awards are recognitions presented by Guida Finestra, the renowned Italian trade magazine, to celebrate innovation and excellence in products or solutions related to the window and door industry.
The awards are assigned following a competition involving a jury of experts and the magazine’s readers and website visitors, who vote on a selection of products divided into categories.
For the 2025 edition, there were 13 categories. Giesse competed with Proxima in the “Accessories and Hardware” category, facing 13 other products from international companies.
The award ceremony took place on Wednesday, October 1st, during the gala evening preceding the Forum Serramenti, held at Palazzo Gnudi in the historic center of Bologna. The award was collected by Product Manager Andrea Coralli and R&D Technician Michele Pocaterra.
