Arlington Steel T-Box Recognized with ShowStopper Award at NECA 2019

Sept 27, 2019

Arlington’s Steel T-Box was recognized with a ShowStopper award at the 2019 NECA Show. T-Box is the easy, cost-effective way to mount a fan/fixture up to 70 lbs on a suspended ceiling grid – at the cross or on the straightaway.

The annual Showstopper Showcase at the NECA Convention and Trade Show highlights the newest products and services on the market. Open every day starting one hour before the Trade Show, the Showcase gives attendees a chance to explore and try the newest products available, while a panel of anonymous, expert judges determine the winners on a variety of factors. While more than 153 products were submitted to the Showcase, hoping to be awarded a Showstopper honor, only 25 could actually win.
