CMD Wins 2008 Product Of The Year Award - Flaik
The inaugural Standards Australia 2008 gala presentation night in Sydney for the Australian International Design Awards was a huge event. Finalists from international companies such as Philips, Audi and Miele were all in attendance. Things were looking good when the Flaik was awarded a place in the Powerhouse Museum, then shortly after, an Australian design award, but we raised the roof when the Flaik was awarded 'The Product of the Year'. Truly a remarkable achievement.
This is the first time that the award has been given to a Queensland company. A real bonus for product design in Queensland. The award is the tenth ADA that CMD have received and this coincides with the companies tenth birthday. CMD also picked up an Australian Design Mark for the AI Scientific 'Pathfinder 900' a Pathology Sample Management System. All in all a good night.
Queensland was well represented in the awards. Notable ADA winners included 'Innotech' for the excellent Guardian safety system product (also a product of the year finalist) and the '3Di Design' Wrino boat hook.
