RPM International recently presented Legend Brands with the second annual “2014 Innovation Award.”

The award is presented to “honor an RPM company with the entrepreneurial mindset to develop the most innovated new products and services.”

The award notes that “The focus of [Legend Brands’] innovation is to make its cleaning and restoration equipment more compact, portable, powerful and productive.”

The award makes special notice of the Dri-Pod, Revolution LGR, HVE3000 Portable Flood Pumper, Sapphire Scientific truckmounts, and the VersaCarpet VC700. All of these products have been introduced in the last two years and have quickly become top sellers.
