Werner Paddles was honored to once again receive the Accessory Manufacturer of the Year Award presented by Canoe & Kayak Magazine.

Votes were tallied from 384 retail specialty shops to determine the winners for Boat Manufacturer of the Year and Accessory Manufacturer of the Year. “This award goes to show that we are firing on all eight cylinders. It takes the entire team; shipping, production, accounting, R&D, sales and marketing to get it right in partnering with our dealers. We have had a good year and are looking forward to generating more innovative ways to help our dealers succeed in an increasingly competitive market,” says Jim Miller, Werner’s Marketing Manager.

The awards were presented at this past Augusts Outdoor Retail Trade Show. Other winners included Native Watercraft as Boat Manufacturer of the Year. Not to be left out, manufacturers were given the chance to recognize their favorite paddling shop which was bestowed upon Oregon based, Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe.
