Earlier this week Linamar Corporation (TSX: LNR) was presented with
the 2008 Merchandising Innovation Award from Home Depot,
recognizing the outstanding performance of Linamar's Solaris
emission free electric lawnmower. Taking top honours, Linamar was
joined by two second-place finishers in a category comprised of
thousands of stock-keeping units (SKUs) and hundreds of vendors.
The award, announced at Home Depot Canada's annual Vendor
Partnership Meeting in Toronto, saw over 2,000 people in
attendance. "This is a very prestigious award for a Home Depot
vendor partner to receive and represents a tremendous compliment to
Linamar and our ability to launch exciting new products," said
Andrew McGillivray, General Manager.
Linamar Consumer Products, a Linamar Company, launched the
electric mower in April 2008 offering the convenience of an
environmental friendly electric mower with the cutting power of a
traditional internal combustion engine. The high torque high
efficiency motor technology is known as the Terra Phase Power
System.
The Linamar cordless, electric mower uses no oil, no gas and can
last up-to an hour on one battery charge. The addition of a solar
re-charge option makes this product a truly green alternative for
maintaining your lawn.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be the recipient of Home Depot's
coveted Merchandising Innovation Award," said Linamar CEO Linda
Hasenfratz. "Our emission free high efficiency lawnmower is a key
product for the future -- for Linamar and for our environment. We
are so pleased that Home Depot shares our vision and passion for
products that help our environment."
