V-TEC PUSH® – ready for the next step
Some improvements are immediately noticeable. Others only reveal their power in the flow of work. V-TEC PUSH® has a straightforward name – the details, however, we’ll keep to ourselves for now.
All we can say is this: It’s about uncomplicated application and noticeable speed. But reading about it isn’t enough – it’s best to try it out for yourself.
Light + Building, 8–13 March – Hall 12, Stand D90 / E90 / E91
V-TEC PUSH® – we’re not revealing any more just yet...
Something new is in the air
A name that promises stability. An idea that rethinks installation.
The Grip M UNI collection clamp heralds a solution that shouldn’t be explained – it has to be experienced. It represents a noticeable change in the everyday lives of professionals. A moment when you realise: This is what progress feels like.
Much remains hidden. Intentionally.
Because some innovations only reveal their full effect when you pick them up and try them out for yourself.
Experience the Grip M UNI collection clamp live at Light + Building in March at the OBO stand.
See. Feel. Understand.
When surfaces become stages.
Seamless floor surfaces characterise modern architecture – they stand for attitude, for high standards, for uncompromising design. This is exactly where OBO cassettes for polished screeds come in – discreet in appearance, but with an effect you can feel.
What they make possible remains in the background at first.
What they bring about is a new understanding of aesthetics in a room.
If you look more closely, you will sense that there is more hidden beneath the surface than meets the eye.
Modul-45® sockets – prepared for anything
Some innovations demonstrate their strength not through words, but through trust.
We’re revealing the name, but not all the details. What we are revealing is a clear commitment to reliability and serenity in a room – nothing more.
What exactly is behind it? That remains our secret for now.
But we will say this much: It’s worth experiencing for yourself – not on paper, but live!
OBO surge protection for industrial applications – ready for when it matters
Not every protective measure is apparent. Some are only noticed once they have done their job – and that is precisely the aim.
Our new range focuses on reliability in harsh environments – for systems that cannot tolerate failure and for locations where availability is a top priority.
See for yourself: experience our new products at our stand.
OBO earth rods – 100% compliant with standards
Compliance with standards is not just a phrase – it is a prerequisite and a necessity. The revised DIN 18014 standard (valid since June 2023) expands the scope for earthing systems and makes earth rods a real alternative for certain types of buildings.
Our new generation of OBO earth rods is specifically tailored to the updated specifications – and designed to reduce the workload for planners and contractors without compromising on safety and durability.
OBO EcoLine – a name, a claim
Proven cable support systems as well as connection and fastening solutions – now in a more sustainable design.
Light + Building, March – at the OBO stand
OBO EcoLine – that’s all we’re revealing for now
MagicFix: Click. Installed. Done.
Some simplifications are immediately apparent. Others only reveal their value when time pressure increases. The name itself implies what it is that’s important – we’ll show you everything else live.
Here’s a little teaser: Faster installation, cleaner work. Reading about it won’t help much – trying it for yourself will convince you.
