TrucBrush Receive SBANE New England Innovation Award

TrucBrush Corporation is proud to announce its recent New England Innovation Award, sponsored by the Smaller Business Association of New England (SBANE), for its patented mobile device TrucBrush^® and service methodology to clear accumulated snow off truck, trailer and bus rooftops prior to transit. The polypropylene-bristled device quickly connects to and is powered by a front-end loader, making it a fast, effective and safe method which is capable of being outsourced to a snow service vendor.

“We are proud to be among other New England innovators to win this award and we appreciate HarborOne Bank for nominating us,” said TrucBrush vice president Debora Babin Katz, who also chairs the national Snow & Ice Management Association’s Snow Business editorial advisory committee and is board chair of the Women In Trucking Foundation.

TrucBrush Corporation joins the SBANE Circle of Excellence, class of 2016, as the winner of the Robert Crowley “Rising Star” Innovation Award, named after SBANE’s former chairman. It is awarded to companies who are in the early stage of development and have clearly demonstrated the validity of their business. TrucBrush Corporation was one of 188 nominees who were narrowed down to 50 semi-finalists, and then in a second judging to 20 finalists who presented to 66 judges during phase 2 of the competition. Of the 20 finalists, 4 winners were chosen in the “Profit” category, 2 in the “Non-Profit” category and 2 as “Rising Stars”.

TrucBrush represents an opportunity for many snow service contractors to expand their businesses. “As we continue to push innovation within the snow industry, it has been products like TrucBrush that has helped our organization differentiate itself from others,” said TrucBrush customer Mark J. Aquilino, president of Outdoor Pride of New Hampshire.

“Last year, we were awarded a large airport freight facility snow contract because of our introduction of Trucbrush services. TrucBrush has allowed us the opportunity to gain new clients and offer a new snow service, and we look forward to purchasing more TrucBrush units,” he said.

Former winners of the NE Innovation Awards come from varying fields and past winners include notable companies such as Ben & Jerry’s, Direct Tire, Genzyme, Nantucket Nectars, Staples and Zipcar. “Innovation is at the heart of economic prosperity and SBANE continues to recognize those companies and organizations that have transformed their innovative ideas into a product or service that delivers proven value to customers,” said SBANE’s NE Innovation Awards Committee chairman, Todd Faber, president of The Faber Group.

TrucBrush^® is manufactured in the U.S. and sold throughout North America.
