Industry Leaders Say

We would be lying if we said we didn’t run around the fields cheering when we heard of the two NYIOOC awards.
The NYIOOC awards repay us for all the efforts made, especially in coping with the climate challenges, to guarantee our consumers the highest level of quality. We believe these recognitions can give us a boost to the creation of new synergies and collaborations.
We have had some of our best sales weeks ever since winning Gold at the NYIOOC. We've had strong interest from a number of large retailers who have congratulated us on the win. It has been powerful to have an affirmation like this.
