leading innovator, marketer and producer of quality branded
products for the lawn and garden and pet supplies markets, is proud
to announce that its Adams™ Smart Shield™ Applicator was recently
named a finalist in the Best New Product category for the consumer
product industry in The 2012 American Business Awards (ABA), and
will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie Award winner in
the program.
The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business
awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are
eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and
non-profit, large and small.
For the first time, The American Business Awards will be
presented at two awards events: the ABA's traditional banquet on
Monday, June 18 in New York, and a new awards event on Monday,
September 17 in San Francisco.
More than 3,000 nominations from organizations of all sizes and
in virtually every industry were submitted this year for
consideration in a wide range of categories.
The recently launched Adams™ Smart Shield™ Applicator is a
breakthrough topical flea and tick control delivery device with an
exclusive, patent-pending design that gets fast, effective
treatment down to pets’ skin, where bugs live. The applicator
delivers a more confident, secure, and easy application of Adams™
Flea & Tick Spot On® topical treatment, which starts killing
fleas and ticks in 15 minutes and helps prevent re-infestation for
up to two months. Designed with input from veterinarians and
consumers, this ground-breaking new product is also the first of
its kind.
“We conducted multiple rounds of research and explored over 70
design concepts to create a flea and tick product that would fully
satisfy pet owners looking to effectively treat pets,” said Steve
LeVeau, Director of Marketing – Animal Health for Central Garden
& Pet Company. “We are honored that our efforts have been
recognized by an esteemed group of industry experts and are very
grateful to be chosen as a finalist for the American Business
Awards.”
Finalists were chosen by more than 140 business professionals
nationwide during preliminary judging in April and May. More than
150 members of 10 specialized judging committees will determine
Stevie Award placements from among the finalists during final
judging that took place May 14-25.
