Our Most Fun Best Booth Award goes to Sems
and Specials! Their caricature artist, Celestia, was so
fun and creative. Within just minutes she was creating
cartoon likenesses of attendees willing to get off of their
feet for a few minutes of fun! Our own show tweeter,
blogger and social media extraordinaire was happy to
come home with a giveaway that will be kept forever.

Best Giveaway Winner– Kanebridge
Our Best Character Costume Award goes to
Solution Industries! The folks at Solution Industries
always seem to wow the industry with their superhero
character inspired marketing. Their live Transformer
character was very cool! Transformers tell stories of
robots that are more than meets the eye, and we can be
sure to expect the same from this great company and the
people that work at Solution Industries. Their giveaways
included a set of superhero themed pins, including a
breast cancer awareness inspired pin.
Best Booth Award #7
Best Group Winner – OSG Tap & Die
Our Best Giveaway Booth goes to
Kanebridge Corporation! Their hospitality was off
the charts. They had waiters that served food and
drinks throughout the day. Their giveaways included
Nut and Bolt Pens, Apple watches and iPads! Their
open bar get-together at the Bellini Bar after the show
was such a treat! The Kanebridge Corporation
showed the fastener industry lots of love with their
non-stop attention, a level of service we’ve all come
to know from the company and its employees.
Our Best Group Award goes to OSG Tap & Die! We
had a great time visiting with the OSG Tap & Die booth. They
shared with us the story of the new concept for their booth
design. The design showed the thought process behind the
manufacturing of their products. OSG’s extensive line of high
technology cutting tools features exclusive metallurgy, cutting
geometries and proprietary surface treatments to help
increase productivity, reliability and tool life. OSG also serves
the fastener industry by offering a complete line of thread
