Meisterkreis Award 2026

BRABUS X AXOPAR HONORED AT THE MEISTERKREIS AWARDS 2026

12.11.2026 -Team BRABUS says thank you! We are proud to announce that BRABUS Marine has been recognized at this year’s MEISTERKREIS Awards – receiving the award in the category “Collaboration for Business Transformation” together with Axopar, our longest-standing marine partner and founding partner of BRABUS Marine.

What began in 2017 as a strategic collaboration became an important turning point in the evolution of BRABUS from a legacy automotive company into a cross-industry luxury design house. By combining our expertise and design with Axopar’s experience in boatbuilding, we successfully entered an entirely new industry and laid the foundation for what BRABUS Marine has become today: a growing business built on three strong partnerships spanning high-performance dayboats, luxury catamarans and superyachts.

In its decision, the MEISTERKREIS jury highlighted how the partnership with Axopar has opened up an entirely new business segment for BRABUS, while laying the foundation for further partnerships in the marine industry. Above all, the jury recognized a collaboration whose impact extends far beyond its first joint product, contributing to the long-term development and transformation of the BRABUS brand.

The award was accepted by Constantin Buschmann, CEO and owner of BRABUS, and Kari Kulojärvi, CEO of Axopar, with a laudation delivered by Prof. Dr. Justus Haucap, Director of the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics.

Our sincere thanks to MEISTERKREIS and the jury for this special recognition, and to our partners Axopar, Sunreef Yachts and AB Yachts for their continued trust, dedication and shared ambition.

The journey continues.
