The five companies were selected for ICFA’s Manufacturer Leadership Award after a call for online nominations in July among ICFA’s membership. This year’s honorees include Castelle by Tropitone, Hanamint, Summer Classics, Telescope Casual Furniture and Treasure Garden.

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 Wednesday, July 20.

Hosted by theMART at the Aon Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier in Chicago, the ICFA Awards Gala will bring together all segments of the outdoor furnishings industry to recognize the top retail stores, manufacturers and sales representatives. Products receiving the industry’s Design Excellence Awards will be spotlighted, along with the two Lilly Awards for Outdoor Furniture and Outdoor Accents plus the Lillian B. Winchester “Best of Show” design award.
