The Edison Awards, named after the American inventor Thomas Alva Edison, recognizes some of the most innovative products and business leaders in the world. The prestigious accolades honor excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design and innovation.

The company won the Edison Awards for, among others, these innovative solutions:
