TechAmerica Orange County names ViridiSTOR honoree for innovative product

ViridiSTOR LLC’s Green Box Solution has been awarded the TechAmerica Orange County High-Tech Innovation Award in the hardware category.

Now in its 18th year, this premier business event celebrates excellence and achievement in the region’s technology industry, and honors local companies, individuals and products that drive innovation in Orange County. This year’s honorees were announced at the annual dinner on June 9, 2011, at the Hyatt Hotel in Irvine, Calif.

“It is an incredible honor to win such a prestigious award,” said Terry Mullin, CEO, ViridiSTOR. “We’ve spent many years developing the Green Box Solution with the hopes that more tradeshow and conference operators will realize how they can advance the green movement by virtually eliminating paper-based handouts, and at the same time reduce costs and increase profits from the use of our system. The amount of waste that is created from each of the 14,000 tradeshows in North America alone is incredible. If only the top 250 tradeshows in the US adopt this solution, we could eliminate approximately 1 trillion gallons of waste water and 274 billion pounds of greenhouse gases each year.”

ViridiSTOR LLC joins other Orange County-based companies in receiving High-Tech Innovation Awards including Emulex, Masimo, and Vizio Inc to name a few.

“TechAmerica is proud to honor ViridiSTOR in this year’s High-Tech Innovation Awards,” said Bob Brunson, associate director of TechAmerica Orange County. “The company and its leadership are working to make incredible strides in an industry often overlooked in the green movement. They’ve successfully brought a remarkable advancement in tradeshow technology to market, based right here in Orange County.”

The event was attended by more than 350 technology innovators who came together in celebration of technology achievement in Orange County.
