Brand of the century
SONAX is once again the “Brand of the Century” in the field of car care. What started as a book has now become an exclusive award: Every three years, “German Standards – Brands of the Century” honours those brands that are fixed in the public imagination and are part of the top tier of German products. A transparent selection process and the limitation of the awards to one brand per category ensure exclusivity.
