Landscape Ontario’s Expo 2010 New Product Showcase Now Accepting Entries

TORONTO, ON – Landscape Ontario's Expo, formerly Garden & Floral Expo, is now accepting entries for its New Product Showcase. The showcase is the primary reason retail owners and buyers attend the annual trade show that takes place October 19 – 20, 2010 at the Toronto Congress Centre.

Vendors ready to launch products are invited to submit their entries by October 1, 2010 for evaluation by a panel of judges. Innovative products resulting from competitive pressures, cost challenges, increased customer expectations or governmental regulations and that are ready for distribution for the 2011 spring season are eligible.

"Our judges really want to see breakthrough products – the ones new to a company, our industry or new to the world," says Michael LaPorte, of Clearview Nursery Ltd and a representative of the Expo 2010 New Products Committee. "Products that offer 5 to 10 times' greater improvement performance combined with 30 to 50% or greater reductions in costs. We are also interested in companies and products that offer incremental improvements – cost reductions, existing product line improvements, product additions in existing lines, and repositioned plants and products being introduced to the garden and floral markets."
