Each year since 2003, the Home Improvement Executive magazine team researches unique products, features, and designs that were brought to market over the past year and recognizes the top innovators in each category. This year, Colorite’s Element™ was the first place winner in the “watering” category.
“To be in the company of major, global brands as a first place winner is truly an honor,” said Miguel Nistal, Senior Vice President of Tekni-Plex, Inc. and the head of its Colorite Hose business. “We are very proud of this achievement and remain committed to offering an expanding line of unique, high quality products to our customers in the coming year.”
