Presented by INDA, in partnership with Nonwovens Industry magazine, the awards are presented every three years in conjunction with the IDEA conference and exhibition.

The IDEA16 Achievement Awards will recognize the leading companies, individuals, and new products in the global nonwovens and engineered fabrics industry. The awards will be presented during IDEA16, which takes place from 2-5 May 2016, in Boston, MA.

Promoting innovation

All professionals in the global engineered fabrics industry can nominate products for the IDEA16 Achievement Awards. Winners at the last award presentation at IDEA13 included ITW Dynatec, Sandler AG, Hollingsworth & Vose, ITW Dymon, and Hunter Douglas.

INDA’s Technical Advisory Board then will select three finalists in each category, and in early 2016 industry professionals will have the opportunity to vote on the recipient in each category through the Nonwovens Industry website.

“These IDEA Achievement Awards promote innovation and recognize outstanding achievement within the worldwide engineered fabrics community and it is appropriate that they will be presented during IDEA16, the singularly most important industry event show of the year,” said Dave Rousse, President of INDA, the organizer of the triennial IDEA Conference and Exposition.
