The Edison Awards™, celebrating 30 years of honoring the best in innovation and excellence in the development of new products and services, announced today that Qualite’s Q-LED GameChanger™ was voted as the gold winner for innovation in the outdoor adventure category at the April 20th event at The Capitale in New York City. Eric Boorom, Qualite Owner, joined hundreds of other senior executives from some of the world’s most recognized companies to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of all the 2017 Edison Award winners.
Being recognized with an Edison Award has become one of the highest accolades a company can receive in the name of innovation and business. The awards are named after Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) whose inventions, new product development methods and innovative achievements literally changed the world, garnered him 1,093 U.S. patents and made him a household name around the world.
“Our judges recognized Qualite’s GameChanger as a true innovator out of the many products in its category,” said Frank Bonafilia, executive director of the Edison Awards. Eric Boorom, Qualite owner, further added, “We have worked long hours to develop a system that would revolutionize sports lighting and all of the work has been validated by winning the gold award. This is the greatest honor in the history of the company.”
The ballot of nominees for the Edison Award was judged by a panel of more than 3,000 leading business executives, including past award winners, academics and leaders in the fields of product development, design, engineering, science and medical.
