ECO TRELLIS ® has won two prestigious categories at the 9th annual Wine Industry Suppliers Australia Awards (WISA) held on Thursday 22 October 2015 in Adelaide. These awards highlight wine industry suppliers who clearly demonstrate that they can add value to their clients businesses. The awards won are the Banrock Station Wines Environment & Sustainability Award and the Tarac Technologies Innovation Award.
ECO TRELLIS® is making a positive impact on both sides of the Tasman with uptake by many leading viticulturists. Produced by NZ Tube Mills it offers complete vineyard trellising solution using posts, clips and strainers as relevant to site location. It’s the perfect system for both new vineyard developments and the replacement of damaged wooden posts.
The judges said that the ECO TRELLIS ® story is a great example for suppliers, where an innovative idea managed to turn around the fortunes of a factory servicing a declining automotive industry, to one that now produces a highly desirable, exceptional product. The environmental benefits of this technology are evident in its recyclability and in providing an alternative to CCA treated posts that can leach chemicals from the timber causing damage to the soil.
