UCF Business Incubation Program Soft Landing client recognized with two silver and one bronze award
Orlando, Fla. (July 9, 2026) – Trade recognition is important to any company. It provides an external validation of all the details that define a company’s products or services.
Last month, Innercia USA won three Outstanding Merchandising Achievement Awards from Shop!, the global trade association dedicated to enhancing retail environments and experiences.
“These awards reaffirm to our clients that we deliver on our promises,” says Sandra Cortes, CEO, Innercia USA. “The three statuettes reflect the trust our customers place in us and our ongoing dedication to providing solutions that meet the highest standards of creativity, performance, and sustainability.”
Innercia USA joined the UCF Business Incubation Program in Kissimmee in late 2022 as the company expanded into the United States. For more than 20 years, the company has designed and manufactured custom retail displays in Latin America. Today, the company’s displays are featured in many Hispanic grocery stores throughout Florida.
The three winning displays from Innercia were:
Silver Awards
- Floor Stand Rocket Ramo
- Market Category: Snack Products | Temporary Exhibit
- Floor Stand Coke Studio
- Market Category: Supermarket | Permanent Exhibit
Bronze Award
- Island Stand Fabuloso Orange Energy
- Market Category: Supermarket | Temporary Exhibit
The Shop! OMA awards have been the industry’s highest recognition for more than 65 years. According to its website, the award “recognizes and honors excellent displays that set the merchandising and design precedents of today to become the standards of tomorrow.”
“These awards are a testament to the quality of our work and our unwavering commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable retail display solutions,” John Carrillo, Chief Innovation Officer, Innercia USA, said. “We believe these recognitions could encourage more retailers and consumer brands to explore the possibilities of sustainable point-of-sale displays and discover partners who are genuinely committed to enhancing both brand performance and environmental responsibility.”
