The awards highlight a strategic pivot toward solving common field challenges, such as tool portability, workspace constraints, and power management. By integrating multiple functions into single units, such as the WORKPRO 2-in-1 folding utility knife and the 12-in-1 adjustable wrench set, the company aims to reduce the volume of gear professionals must carry. The recognition also extends to infrastructure items, including a 1,000-lb capacity rolling tool chest and heavy-duty folding sawhorses designed for compact transport.

Lily Chi, CEO of GreatStar Industrial Co., Ltd., attributed the success to a design philosophy focused on smarter, more accessible utility. This approach is supported by an internal infrastructure of five global research and development centers and a team of over 200 engineers. Beyond the workshop, the company’s HAUSHOF and Shop-Vac brands secured wins for cordless cleaning technology, including a 7.2V mini heat gun and a portable carpet cleaner. These honors follow a competitive field of nearly 400 entries judged by industry experts, underscoring the company’s increasing footprint in the North American tool market.
