LMC names top products
At the LMC Annual, the forest products and building materials buying group named three winners of this year’s “Best New Product.”
“The LMC New Products area is always a must-visit at the Annual,” said LMC Vice President of Building Materials John Keeley. “It’s a way to engage our audience and benefits exhibitors as a unique way to drive traffic to their booth.”
The three winners of this year’s LMC “Best New Product” are:
- 1st Place: Ekena Millwork Faux Wood Shutters
- 2nd Place: VELUX Solar Powered Skylight
- 3rd Place: ClipStone ColumnWrap
Exhibitors submitted over 80 new products for the competition that were displayed on the show floor in the “new products” section. Dealers voted by dropping their business card in a designated box next to the product.
“The LMC New Products area gives us the opportunity to show LMC dealers products that their customers can add to projects to increase value and stand out from the crowd,” said Daniel Milkie, director of marketing and business development for Ekena. “We are very proud that our Faux Wood Shutters won 1st place. These shutters are an awesome solution to a builder or customer that wants shutters that look like authentic wood but want the shutters to last a lifetime. We are grateful to LMC for giving us the opportunity to showcase them.”
The LMC Annual took place March 23 to March 25 in Tampa, Fla.
The 2023 LMC Annual will take place at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, N.C. from March 8 to March 10.
LMC is owned by independent lumber and building material dealers and includes 1,500 LMC dealer locations in the United States and the Bahamas.
