Seven manufacturers of outdoor furnishings have been named finalists for the International Casual Furnishings Association’s 2024 Manufacturer of the Year Award.
The seven companies were selected for ICFA’s Manufacturer Leadership Award after a call for online nominations in April among ICFA’s membership. This year’s honorees include Berlin Gardens, Castelle, Ebel, Inc., Frankford Umbrellas, Jensen Outdoor, Telescope Casual Furniture and Tuuci.
The finalists were selected based on the overall design and quality of their products, along with their merchandising, customer service, ethics, communications and trade relations. Company profiles of the finalists will be distributed to ICFA members for a second round of voting, and the company with the most votes will be announced as the Manufacturer of the Year at the ICFA Awards Gala on Tuesday, July 16.
Hosted by ANDMORE at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, the ICFA Awards Gala will bring together all segments of the outdoor furnishings industry to recognize the top retail stores, manufacturers and sales representatives. Honorees of the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award and Dudley Flanders Future Leader Award will also be celebrated.
