Finalists Announced for 2018 CAMX Award

CAMX announces finalists for 2018 CAMX Award recognizing Combined Strength and Unsurpassed Innovation

October 9, 2018 (Dallas, TX.)CAMX – The Composites and Advanced Materials Expo is proud to announce the finalists for the fifth annual CAMX Award, sponsored by Ashland. The CAMX Award recognizes two cutting-edge innovations that will significantly impact composites and advanced materials. The award is divided into two categories that embody the spirit of CAMX – Combined Strength and Unsurpassed Innovation.

As two distinct honors, the Combined Strength Award acknowledges a product that incorporates composites materials that solves a problem through teamwork and collaboration, and the Unsurpassed Innovation Award celebrates a product with a design that incorporates low-cost materials for high-volume applications that can change the outlook of a particular market.

The winning entries will be announced next week and presented during the General Session at CAMX – Tuesday, October 16 at Dallas Ballroom at the Omni Hotel, near the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. To see the entries in person, go to the award pavilion (booth BB63) of the Exhibit Hall located at the Convention Center.
