Better Roads Magazine picks the Stripe Hog® out of 500 products
Waterblasting Technologies is honored to accept a “Top Rollout” award from Better Roads magazine.
On the back of the award these words are inscribed, “In recognition of the risk and reward of introducing new products to highway professionals”.
Better Roads sorted through more than 500 new products introduced in 2005 to identify 50 that had special significance to highway and bridge professionals.
Below is a snap shot from Better Roads Magazine about this award…
How We Made Our Choices
In surveys, focus groups, and face-to-face meetings at industry events, when we ask readers how we can best help them keep track of changes in the products and services they use to manage, maintain, and build North America’s roads and bridges, almost everyone wants an annual short list of the really important stuff. No wonder. The sheer volume of introductions is overwhelming. Better Roads covers well over 600 products each year in our new product columns and Bid List features.
So each year, our staff reviews all the product introductions we’ve covered for the past year (our Top Rollouts “year” actually runs from the November 2004 issue through the October 2005 issue) to pick out 50 that we believe are worth further review. Our priorities are new concept products, which are rare, new series/new generation products in categories that relate to the road and bridge industry, and other rollouts which serve our readers’ interests by increasing supplier competition for their business.
