A Unique Trophy for Standard de Liège – Crafted by CRM Group

CRM Group recently had the honour of designing and manufacturing a custom-made trophy for one of Belgium’s most iconic football clubs: Standard de Liège. More than just a symbolic object, this unique piece embodies local innovation, technical excellence, and the historic ties between the club and the region’s industrial heritage.

Commissioned with the support of AKT for Wallonia, this project brought together several of CRM Group’s advanced technological competencies:

• 🔥 Thermal spraying on heat-sensitive materials — a process inherited from our aerospace-related R&D, requiring extreme precision and control.

• 🛡️ Precision masking — developed as part of our work on smart coatings and printed electronics, enabling intricate surface finishes.

• 🖨️ 3D design and additive manufacturing, powered by our engineering branch, whose expertise spans from component prototyping to full industrial line design.

The final result is a refined and durable trophy that elegantly integrates the club’s emblem and identity.

Beyond the technical challenge, this project reflects a shared vision and commitment. Both CRM Group and Standard de Liège proudly hold the “Sustainable Enterprise” certification awarded by AKT, which promotes responsible practices across the economic, social and environmental pillars of Wallonia’s development.

We warmly thank Standard de Liège for their trust, and AKT for Wallonia for providing this opportunity to create a piece that celebrates the intersection of sport, industry and regional pride.
