Superlift Wins 2011 Ford Product Excellence Award

West Monroe, LA - Superlift received a 2011 Ford Product Excellence Award for its efforts on the Matchbox F-350 Brush Truck, which debuted in Ford's booth at the 2011 SEMA Show. Matchbox designers created the concept for the vehicle. Superlift's R&D department then turned the rendering into reality using a 2011 Ford F-350. Limited-edition 1:64 Matchbox models of the truck were given away at SEMA. They're also for sale through Mattel distributors.

"It's an incredible honor to receive this award from Ford," said Superlift Marketing Director/project coordinator Joey Arbogast. "It's a tribute to efforts from Matchbox's and Superlift's design and marketing departments as well as Superlift's engineering and R&D team, who brought the design to life." Ford Product Excellence Awards recognize superior achievement in new product development, vehicle appearance, use of aftermarket parts and overall display.
