Mustang Survival Head of Marketing Anja Mueller said: “It’s a tremendous honour to be recognized among 199 other groundbreaking innovations that enhance our world in meaningful ways. We believe that the best life jacket is the one you wear, and by prioritizing comfort with safety, we have more opportunity to protect everyone on the water.”
