20-Jun-2008
Monkey Steel is proud to announce that MonkeyBar™ has won the prestigious Australian Innovation Award at Designbuild Australasia ’08 in Melbourne. MonkeyBar™ was also a Runner-up in the Best New Product Award category at the Expo.
Sponsor of the Australian Innovation Award, Connection Magazines, said of MonkeyBar’s win:
“...we gave the award for Design and Innovation to Monkey Steel for the simplicity of design, potential global reach and the enduring benefits we believe the MonkeyBar™ will have on the broader industry. In conjunction with Australian Made we were looking for a product that reflected true Australian Design and Innovation; a product that was Australian made and designed within the last 12 months. In the end it was a difficult but clear choice as we believe MonkeyBar™ will have a greater global impact and promote Australian Innovation overseas”.
The Best New Product Award was sponsored by Architecture Media and their jury comments on MonkeyBar™ as Runner-Up for the award were:
“MonkeyBar™ is the result of an impressive amount of research and development. It addresses a key issue in large commercial applications, and actually exceeds performance expectations. Aside from these functional considerations, it has been beautifully engineered; it’s like a piece of jewellery! MonkeyBar™ has the capacity to change the industry.”
Mr Julian Mitton, CEO of Monkey Steel said today: “I am delighted to see the independent accolades for the MonkeyBar™ construction system roll-in, recognising its formidable place in the global steel reinforcing market. The recent introduction of the polymer sleeve has added an enormous speed advantage to the end user. By simply clicking the system into place we now have a truly revolutionary technology ready to deploy to the world market.”
