Portuguese companies were distinguished with 42 ISPO Textrends Awards, including the two Best Products won by A. Sampaio. In the new Textrends Awards contest for sportswear, Portugal brings four more Best Products from Munich: two for Gulbena (in the Wind Break and High Waist Legging categories), another for FORteams LAB, and one for Olmac (Stubborn Polo).
In the World Cup for innovation in materials and accessories for sports, held in Munich, Portugal was only surpassed in the number of awards by the Asians (Taiwan, China, and Japan) and has been ahead of the European and North American competition.
Beyond the 32 distinctions in the Textrends Awards contest – in which, in addition to Sampaio’s Best Products, there are several Top 5 and Top 10 to register – Portugal received nine awards in a new contest, the Textrends – Apparel Edition, which premiered in this edition. In the Best Product category, four of the six total awards went to Portugal, putting us ahead of the rest of the world.
Portugal won nine nominations in the sportswear category, being the most awarded country. The products chosen by the jury are on display at the ISPO Textrends Forum in Pavilion C2.
Having an ISPO Textrends Awards distinction on the label is a tool that helps win favor with retailers and consumers.
