BLA has named Scanstrut its Supplier of the Year for 2025, presenting the award at the distributor's annual trade show in Brisbane on 10 July.
BLA, Australasia's largest marine equipment distributor, cited product innovation, communication, and distributor support across Scanstrut's Mount, Power, Seal, and Air categories as the basis for the award.
Scanstrut CEO Tom Reed said the recognition reflected the working relationship between the two companies. "It speaks to the deep trust and teamwork between our companies. Our shared goal has always been to deliver the best possible experience for our customers across Australia and New Zealand."
Ryan Sams, Head of Sales at Scanstrut, pointed to the internal teams behind the result. "This award is a real credit to our internal teams; design, engineering, and marketing, who work quickly and professionally to support our partners. We're known for being easy to deal with, responsive, and focused on getting things done, and this award reinforces that."
David Wood, Director Product at BLA, said Scanstrut's involvement across the full product cycle set the brand apart. "Their responsiveness and commitment to quality makes them an ideal partner."
The Scanstrut stand drew interest from dealers, installers, and boatbuilders, with attention on waterproof wireless and USB charging, mounting solutions, and products designed for the marine environment.
