The 10 nominees for the Équipbaie-Métalexpo Trophies 2021

ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO is the unmissable event for innovation in the carpentry industry. Every 2 years, the TROPHIES highlight the innovative solutions of exhibitors and facilitate the dissemination of these innovations on the market.

On June 3, the 35 candidate files were studied by the Jury to select the Nominees for the TROPHIES. This Jury is made up of independent sectoral experts, including many specialized journalists.

For this 2021 edition of the TROPHIES 10 innovations caught the attention of the Jury, which also wanted to award a Special Mention from the Jury.

Two trends emerge strongly from these nominees. On the one hand, research around design and aesthetics, on the other hand the development of digital and smart solutions for the comfort of residents or to help professionals.

The winners selected from these 10 innovations will be unveiled at a digital press conference on June 22.

The official awards ceremony will take place on Wednesday September 22 at the Arena Innovation at ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO.

From September 21 to 23, visitors will be able to discover all the candidate innovations at the Arena Innovation thanks to thematic pitch sessions and interactive screens. They will also be able to vote live for their favorite innovation.
