SCM wins 2011 DAME Award

This year’s DAME Design Award at METS has been awarded to the Revolving Portlight produced by Italian firm SCM (STAMPAGGIO COSTRUZIONI MECCANICHE).Presenting the prize on behalf of the DAME Jury, Andrea Frabetti of the Ferretti Group said that the Revolving Portlight was a truly deserved winner in a highly competitive field – one that delivered an outstanding combination of practicality, design and engineering. SCM’s business development manager Gianluca Silvestri was delighted, if a little shocked, to have won the award. “It was a complete surprise,” he said shortly after receiving the DAME Award. “We are very proud of this product and when we conceived the idea we wondered if it could ever really work. But thankfully it is brilliant – and yet very simple.“We believe that METS is without doubt the most important marine industry event anywhere in the world – and it is very important for us to exhibit here.“In fact, because of our increasing success in the superyacht sector we are now considering moving our stand into the SuperYacht Pavilion in 2012 because of the enormous potential that still exists in that sector.

”The Revolving Portlight was also a Category Winner in the section for Interior equipment, furnishings, materials and electrical fittings used in cabins.Other category winners included iAIS by Digital Yacht (Marine electronics), Ballistic Eco Pants by Harken Sport (Clothing and crew accessories), the Deckvest LITE by Spinlock (Lifesaving and safety equipment), Sentinel One Star by Forniture Nautiche Italiane (Marine equipment, boatyard equipment and boat construction tools and materials), Stabilis Electra 18BR-2X by CMC MARINE (Machinery, propulsion, mechanical and electrical systems and fittings), Constrictor by Cousin Trestec (Deck equipment, sails and rigging), and finally TimeZero Trident by MaxSea/MapMedia/Nobeltec (Marine related software).
