Recognized for its innovation and growth, SmartPlug Systems has won the Emerging Manufacturer of the Year award.  Part of the second annual Washington Manufacturing Awards, winners were chosen from dozens of nominations by judges convened by Seattle Business magazine.  The awards were recently presented at a dinner with 230 fellow manufacturers present.

 

“We are so honored to have been selected from approximately 150 entries,” said Ken Smith, founder of SmartPlug.  “We have worked hard to revolutionize shore power systems and we’re very grateful to be recognized for our achievements.  Making boating safer is our ultimate goal and rewards like this make that journey even more worthwhile.”

 

A revolutionary power system, SmartPlug is designed to replace the outdated and problematic twist-type power cord connectors traditionally used.  SmartPlug currently offers 30 amp marine systems with 50 amp systems in development.  The company supplies power systems to the marine, RV, electric vehicle and emergency vehicle markets.  SmartPlug has over 400 dealers in the US and Canada.
