Spradling’s HITCH® Winner of the 2015 i-NOVO Design Award

After 7 years absence, Spradling^® Europe returned as an official exhibitor at the world’s largest marine equipment trade show, METSTRADE (or METS) in Amsterdam.

The team in Europe had the opportunity to present Spradling’s newest coated fabric collection, HITCH^®. A geo texture upholstery material carefully engineered for Contract and Marine industries, HITCH^® is designed to enhance any seating or surface application. This high-performance collection delivers Spradling’s highest standard in antibacterial, abrasion and stain-resistant protection, formulated with both Permablok^3® technology and our Silverguard^® antibacterial finish.

NauticExpo, today’s largest online exhibition for the maritime industry and manufacturers of nautical products, recognised the trend and nominated HITCH^® for the prestigious i-NOVO Design Award. The i-NOVO Awards identify and reward the most exceptional products presented at METS that improve the industry’s standards through innovation. The i-NOVO Design Award specifically recognises out of the box products that integrate current design trends, are visually unique or fun; demonstrate exceptional attention to ergonomics, or propose an innovative lifestyle solution.

After the votes from METSTRADE were tallied, the NauticExpo team announced HITCH^® as the winner of the i-NOVO Design Award! Read more about it here.

Spradling^® currently offers Hitch’s vivid, diverse colour pallet through Spradling^® US, including the Spradling^® Marine division, and through Spradling^® Europe, where samples and material will be available by the end of February 2016.
