Online voting is now open for the (North America) 2014 ISSA Innovation Award Program at www.issa.com/vote. ‘The competition recognises the cleaning industry’s most innovative products and services as voted on by industry distributors and end customers,’ stated ISSA.
The Innovation Award Program features more than 50 innovative products and services from manufacturers and service providers. Products and services are entered in five categories: Cleaning Agents, Dispensers, Equipment, Services & Technology, and Supplies.
Online voting determines five Innovation Award category winners and remains open through to 31 October 2014. Voting will continue on site during ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America 2014, (Orlando, 4 to 7 November) where all entries will be on display.
There, eligible attendees will have a chance to see the innovations firsthand and vote to determine five additional Visitors’ Choice Award winners.
