DIY and home improvement giant Home Depot has released details of its 2025 product innovation award winners and runners up, with an anchor narrowly missing out on the top prize.
Recognising ground-breaking products providing unique value, high performance and efficiency to both DIY and Pro home improvement customers, it was the EcoSmart Universal Select Light Bulb from Leedarson that brought home the top award.
First runner up was Cobra Tork’s Concrete Anchors, which are pitched as a time-saver for professionals, providing a “new and better way” to anchor into concrete beyond traditional wedge anchors. Cobra Tork Concrete Anchors are removeable and can be installed with just a drill, making them faster and easier to use on any job.
"Pros and DIYers come to The Home Depot to find the most innovative products at a great value that help them get the job done right," said Billy Bastek, executive vice president of merchandising at The Home Depot. "Their loyalty is a direct result of our suppliers' relentless commitment to delivering products with the best quality and value – ultimately helping our customers save time and money. "
In addition to the three winners, The Home Depot recognised several finalists as leaders in innovation, including the Milwaukee Battery Powered QUIK-LOK Power Head – an outdoor power equipment tool that delivers faster performance, longer runtime, and gas-level power – plus compatibility with 13 total attachments, saving the customer money and storage space.
One supplier partner in each merchandising category was also recognised as Partner of the Year, including Milwaukee in the power tools category and PrimeSource Building Products in ‘Hardware’.
