Let’s take a moment to recognize a new crop and an outgoing MVP.
A new twist to Expo week in Dallas last January was the first ControlTrends Awards (CTA). Stromquist & Company sponsors these new honors to reward innovation and performance (and they maintain a fairly active website at http://controltrends.org), and ES was one of the media sponsors for the debut contest and ceremony.
Most but not all of the awards were for products. Werner Buck, former president of Belimo, received the CTA inaugural Hall of Fame Award for “his outstanding professional and community contributions.”
