SILVER AWARD "Steel Blade": Snow shovel Manufacturer/Design: Grivel Mont Blanc, Courmayeur/Italy. grivel, the only Italian company to receive an Award, received the Silver Award for its Steel Blade, the super-light snow shovel (406 grams) which does not require any type of assembly. It is multifunctional and can also be used in cramped spaces. The shovel can be easily elongated with the help of an ice pick. Its steel edge is able to cut the sharpest ice edges.
Jury's opinion: "This product is really innovative. The shovel has been reinvented: small, light and multifunctional. Basic equipment for ski tours and glacier climbs. And if it gets lost, its signal colour makes it easy to find."
Gioachino Gobbi, the owner of Grivel Mont Blanc commented the prize as follows: “We are particularly proud to have received this award, firstly because it provides international recognition as we participated against all other outdoor companies worldwide and secondly becase the award recognises our efforts to render all our products innovative, easy to use and safe for the end-user. Probably Mont Blanc, which we see from our windows every day, inspired us once again."
