As industries react and adjust to an ever-changing world, manufacturers and companies alike continue to push forward. Likewise, safety companies have risen to the occasion of meeting these emerging needs with innovative new products. Perhaps more than ever, it’s imperative to celebrate these wins and acknowledge their contributions to keeping workers safe.
To that end, we are pleased to announce the 25 companies that won the 15th annual New Product of the Year contest in 2023. Top winners included Shurtape Technologies with four wins and Andax Industries, Mechanix Wear and Protective Industrial Products with three wins each.
This year’s contest attracted the second-highest number of entries in the history of the program. Outstanding products were awarded in 35 distinct categories, with an independent panel of highly qualified judges selecting the winners from an impressive group of entrants.
“I’ve been involved with other awards programs in my career, but the turnout for this year’s OH&S New Product of the Year Award was really gratifying to see,” OH&S publisher and executive editor David Kopf said. “It just goes to show that this is a vibrant, active industry full of vendors that are dedicated to releasing new offerings that help keep workers safe.”
