Perpetual trophies
A perpetual trophy is handed over rather than handed out. It goes back on stage every season with one more name on it, which means it has to survive travel, handling and a decade of champions. We design and build those trophies in house in Antwerp, with the name plates planned from the first sketch.
Championship trophies designed to be won again
Most trophies only need to survive one night. A perpetual trophy is different: it travels to the winning club or team, comes back a year later, gets lifted, dropped, photographed and engraved, and still has to look like the most important object in the room. That means structural engineering rather than decoration: a base that can take weight, a joint that can be serviced, and a name plate system that still has room in season ten.
Engineered for ten seasons, not one ceremony
We plan the lifecycle with you: how many editions the trophy has to cover, who transports it, whether a replica goes to the winner, and how engraving is handled between seasons. Those decisions change the design, so we make them before production starts rather than after the first handover.
Engraving space is calculated for the number of seasons the trophy has to cover, with a plate system that can be added to or replaced without touching the rest of the piece. Between seasons we can handle the engraving for you.
Lifting a trophy above your head is a stress test. We engineer the structure, joints and base for repeated handling and transport, and supply a case that protects it between one final and the next.
Design, 3D engineering, production and finishing all happen at Fabit in Antwerp. One point of contact, one standard, and no handover losses between suppliers. That is also why we can answer a brief within 24 hours and ship worldwide from a single location.

Our perpetual trophy process
From brief to first handover, every perpetual trophy follows the same route. Because the piece has to work for years, the engineering step carries more weight than in a one off award.
Briefing & strategie
We bepalen je doelstellingen, doelgroep, tijdlijn en budget. Samen bepalen we de creatieve richting, technische vereisten en omvang van het project.
Concept & 3D-ontwerp
Onze ontwerpers vertalen jouw briefing naar gedetailleerde 3D-concepten. Je ontvangt realistische beelden die je kunt bekijken en verfijnen voordat de productie begint.
Productie en afwerking
After approval, your perpetual trophy is produced in house in the selected materials, assembled, engraved with the existing champions and quality checked as a complete object with its case.
Wereldwijde levering
We handle packaging, logistics and international shipping to ensure safe, on-time delivery anywhere in the world, whether it is one piece or a full program.

Fabit heeft absoluut onze verwachtingen overtroffen met de 3D trofee voor onze PGT PLO Series in Las Vegas.
De spelers waren dol op de look en feel. Fabit nam ons concept en leverde iets wat nog beter was dan we voor ogen hadden. We zullen zeker weer met ze samenwerken.
Veelgestelde vragen
Leagues, federations and tournament organisers ask us the same questions about durability, replicas, engraving and cost. Here are the answers.
Senior Account Manager
What is a perpetual trophy?
A perpetual trophy is a single trophy that stays with a competition rather than with the winner. Each champion holds it for one season or edition and their name is added to it, usually on a plate or a band around the base. It is the format used by most major leagues, because the object accumulates the history of the competition.
Do winners keep anything if the main trophy travels back?
Most competitions pair a perpetual trophy with a smaller replica or a medal set that the champion keeps. We design the replica from the same files as the original so it reads as the same object at a different scale, which also keeps the cost predictable.
How many seasons of engraving can you plan for?
As many as you ask for. We calculate the plate area for the number of editions you want to cover, typically ten to twenty five years, and design the plate system so it can be extended later without rebuilding the trophy.
What materials work best for a trophy that gets handled every year?
Metal for the structural elements, combined with materials chosen for the look you want: wood for warmth, acrylic or crystal for light, 3D printed elements for shapes that cannot be machined. The decision is driven by how the trophy is transported and lifted as much as by aesthetics.
Can you handle engraving between seasons?
Yes. Send the trophy back to Antwerp after the season and we add the new champion, service the finish and return it ready for the next final. Many leagues build this into their annual calendar.
