Voting underway for the “Coolest Thing Made in Tennessee”

More than 100 products will be reduced to 16 after this round of voting.

More than 100 products were nominated to be named as the “Coolest Thing Made in Tennessee,” and voting is underway to select the coolest product. Four finalists will be invited to the luncheon on July 25 at the Smart Solutions for Smart Factories Expo in Cleveland where the winner will be announced.

The list starts with a 100 percent recycled containerboard grade paper from Domtar Paper Company in Kingsport and ends with the Phone as a Key (PAAK) made by DENSO in nearby Blount County. The full list can be found here, and voting in the first round runs through June 11. The products selected for the Top 16 round will be announced on June 17.

The competition is hosted by the Tennessee Manufacturers Association.
