Standing Tall On a No-Tip Step Stool EG Industries is a leader in plastic injection tooling, molding and finishing. Examples of products manufactured by EG are found all over the world. Not surprisingly, highly recognized brands gravitate toward suppliers with a reputation for quality, service and integrity. Such was the case two years ago when SUN JOE® met with EG to discuss a branding opportunity for an item EG manufactures. The Safe-T-Stool ® was being showcased at the Hardware Show as an item with some unique features. No matter where you stand on the top surface, it will not tip over. At a mere 3.5

pounds, it claimed to support an extraordinary 500 pounds and had third party testing to back it up. But, perhaps its most endearing quality was its large graphics area which could be brand promoting real estate. Indeed, this is what intrigued SUN JOE to spark a conversation. Its featured products include an extensive line of eco-friendly, electric and battery-powered tools for home and garden. The opportunity was clear. SUN JOE has its own brand, of course, and this fit right in. It promotes safety around the house, looks fresh and meets the quality standards they demand. The Safe-

Exhaust Fans from Air Suppliers Trusted by International Businesses Air Suppliers, a subsidiary of a Mexican company with more than 20 years of experience in the ventilation market, is very proud of being trusted by worldwide companies such as Home Depot (Mexico), Kia Motors (Mexico) and Domino’s Pizza as they help solve ventilation requirements.

Or the present day, where the extensive bowl range it now makes mirrors the rise in bowl food and a more casual approach to dining and entertaining.

Grotrax Aims to Disrupt the $40 Billion Annual Seed and Sod Business An interview with Andrew Tobias, Chief Executive Officer of GTX Turf Farms, Manufacturer of Grotrax, All-in-One, Grass Seed, Fertilizer and Mulch in a roll.

HHR: Grotrax won gold for Best New Lawn & Garden Product here in Vegas last year. What's happened since?

AT: As a small start-up, it has been a whirlwind of activity to bring Grotrax to market in the United States. Our strategy is quite unique in that we have $2M budgeted for TV and social media advertising, as well as aggressive programs in place with key distributors, including the Gro Group and True Value Hardware. Our goal is to get Grotrax onto the shelves at independent stores and regional chains, as they are the experts in their local markets. HHR: So it's both "As seen on TV" and

"a better mouse trap"?

AT: Yes; well, Grotrax provides an easier, cheaper, better way to grow grass. We have the experience and expertise in both of these areas. Remember the Ginsu knife? And, my partner’s family owns a sod farm, so he literally grew up thinking about this product. Our team is effectively executing on the strategy of direct to consumer advertising along with a program tailored to knowledgeable lawn and garden retail experts. It's an opportunity to disrupt the $40 billion annual grass seed and sod business, putting retailers in a position to capitalize on a difficult, yet profitable category. HHR: Disrupt – how so?

AT: Currently retailers do almost no business in the sod category. For consumers, DIY sod projects are difficult

Innovative Products from the Desert Since its establishment in 1985, Cheri’s Desert Harvest has been creating innovative products made with fresh fruit and vegetables that are grown and hand harvested in the Sonoran Desert. Using fresh ingredients and processing them in the firm’s facility creates a finished product with exceptional flavor and nutrient values. Fresh ingredients include prickly pear cactus fruit, citrus, peppers of many varieties and several local honeys that are all used to make preserves, syrups, candies and quick mix combos including a baking mix coupled with a preserve. The firm recently won the Best Food & Beverage Entrepreneur – Arizona award and Best Souvenir in Arizona.

Consumers are more likely to purchase products that contain organic and natural ingredients especially from companies that are environmentally conscious. Every Cheri’s Desert Harvest product is produced from locally grown, sustainable produce or fresh fruit concentrates that are grown and processed in the USA. Each product contains no preservatives, additives, artificial flavors or coloring, only the pure essence of nature’s fresh flavors captured in a bottle. The flavor profile of each product is exceptional and unique, but each share the same attributes: certified organic cactus fruit by USDA and ASCO, gluten free, kosher certified, made in the USA, and ingredi-

We use premium turf quality seed and evenly apply it at 120 percent of the recommended planting rate. The seed and fertilizer are sandwiched between two bio-fabric layers. It literally sticks to the ground when moistened – no staking required. Grotrax provides excellent seed to soil contact, holding six times its weight in water next to the seed for faster germination. Grotrax retails for approximately 40 cents per square foot, so a new 2,000 square foot lawn represents big money and margin opportunity for retailers. HHR: Where will readers see Grotrax TV commercials and online advertising?

In addition to Cheri’s food manufacturing business and striving to be stewards of our environment, the company decided to find ways of using all parts of the certified organic prickly pear cactus fruit, the largest fruit crop that she uses for her preserves. Utilizing leftover juice to dye clothing spawned a new apparel business. The seeds from the waste of the cactus fruit, once separated, cleaned and processed creates a rich, anti-aging oil for the cosmetic industry. Waste from the processes are donated to two non-profit organizations for compost, then sold to the public. As such, new, distinctive products have been created from

Now ESPRO draws on its legacy of improved coffee products to elevate the coffee experience with the introduction of patented coffee tasting

cups. Science indicates that cup shape influences how we discern flavor and aroma – it’s something the wine world has embraced for years. ESPRO’s tasting cups have been designed based on these principles to amplify four of the most popular coffee flavor profiles: Cocoa,

Spot-Not: A Decanter Cleaner That Works Everyone knows it is impossible to properly dry and polish the inside of a decanter – until now! Spot-Not is easy to use and so effective. The Spot-Not decanter dryer has two main parts: a drying cloth that goes into the decanter and a drying mitt for the outside. Magnetic bands draw the two parts together – when you move the

outer mitt, the inside cloth moves along with it, drying and polishing the inside of the decanter. The results are nothing short of miraculous! Decanters, carafes and even vases you were embarrassed to use are suddenly restored to being your pride and joy. Spot-Not comes in retail-friendly packaging and master packs of 12, so it is

Hardware & Housewares Review beverage restaurant experience home for their personal entertaining,” said Barbara Alonge, Business Director – Tabletop, Robinson Home Products. “We realize that consumers want stylish and modern products that have roots in tradition. With that focus always in mind, we have incorporated elements in our new flatware and dinnerware lines that are trendy and new, yet familiar and timeless. Consumers will love the possibilities that our new CraftKitchen lines provide.” CraftKitchen includes a thoughtful launch of important retail ready tools. “A key focus of CraftKitchen’s expansion is providing our customers with packaging and merchandising solutions that they can easily incorporate into their plans,” said Alonge. “All pieces are beautifully packaged in the CraftKitchen’s full-color packaging, which features popular modern design elements like its signature white brick and reclaimed wood. Customers will also love the variety of

configurations offered for key, high volume sellers. For example, the flatware pieces are sold in sets, carded, and in open stock options.” In addition to the launch of flatware and dinnerware, CraftKitchen will also debut an accompanying website in the coming weeks that guides consumers through the CraftKitchen experience. The website will prominently feature the “Celebrated Chefs of CraftKitchen” program which showcases unique, craftstyle recipes from chefs across the country. In tandem with the CraftKitchen Instagram page, consumers will get the opportunity to see the CraftKitchen products in action and gather recipes that they can create in their own kitchens. With social media more important than ever, these online showrooms are intended to provide consumers with opportunities to gain knowledge of the products and give important feedback to CraftKitchen.

the freshest of ingredients within arm’s reach. AVA uses artificial intelligence and intuitive user experience to give every home cook, busy parent and curious child access to fresh, organic plants and vegetables like herbs, lettuce and tomatoes.

Ready-to-grow, soil-free compostable pods include everything needed for a plant to thrive. The pre-seeded plant pods are simply plug and play, and AVA Byte knows when to water, when to give some light and will tell its

I told her she needed to get her artwork out there,” Niemann said. “She was hesitant, but I persisted. We came up with the idea of putting her art work on something people could actually use, and that’s how Rainy Day Illustrations started..." Simmons began her career as an artist in the late 60s as an illustrator for fashion industry labels and retailers. In the late 80s when fashion turned from illustrations to photography, she reinvented herself as an illustrator, and started drawing storyboards for advertising agencies to help sell commercial concepts for major brands. Simmons says her new found joy keeps her extremely busy, but she loves crafting each piece and is always looking for inspiration to create new ideas.

“I head straight for my studio every day,” said Simmons. “We just keep coming up with ideas for new illustrations. With the process of trial and error, we’ve figured out what prints well and what doesn’t print well. The best (illustrations) are the fast ones. Sometimes I work on it for an hour and sometimes a whole day, and I’m having a wonderful time in the process.” Meanwhile, as Simmons provides the artwork, her daughter manages the day-to-day business affairs. “Our artwork now serves a purpose in people’s homes across the country and in our own lives,” Niemann said. “I use our towels every day to dry my hands, to clean and dry plates, wash counters, as napkins and as oversized bibs for my 2year-old...” Rainy Day Illustrations offers different lines of towels including a Wood

Drawing inspiration from current craft food and beverage trends, the CraftKitchen line focuses on exceptional styling and high-quality materials that blend classic elements with the modern look that today’s consumers desire. CraftKitchen is designed to specifically engage the Millennial foodie. The addition of flatware and dinnerware was a natural extension to the brand’s original launch of core tools, gadgets, cutlery and cookware items. Target consumers, specifically Millennials, will be attracted to the new flatware’s sleek and casual look, yet substantial hand feel,

and the stylish dinnerware’s understated, casual elegance. Consumers will also appreciate the thoughtful features of the dinnerware line. The new dinner bowl was created as an alternative to a dinner plate and can be used for increasingly popular one-bowl meals such as burrito, poke, and noodle bowls. The slate cheese board is constructed of two pieces, the porcelain plate and a removal slate insert. It is recommended that when using the plate for cheese service, allow the removal slate insert to chill in the fridge or freezer before service. This will ensure the cheese stays cooler for longer. “CraftKitchen was designed with discerning consumers in mind that want to bring the trending craft food and craft

Rainy Day Illustrations By Amanda Helt

Rainy Day Illustrations is a line of 100 percent cotton towels from a motherdaughter duo. The towels are carefully crafted with handpainted images on the front and are made for everyday use. Rainy Day Illustrations are the brainchild of Suzanne Simmons and her daughter Annie Niemann. The two began their small business in 2015 when Simmons, a longtime fashion illustrator, gave her daughter a watercolor painting. Taken aback by her mother’s talent, Niemann encouraged her mother to share her gift with the world. “The watercolor painting was so detailed and beautiful that I asked her to do another painting and another.
