CalExotics Takes Top Honor at Inaugural Asia Adult Expo Awards

LOS ANGELES — CalExotics won the Pleasure Product Company of the Year award at the Asia Adult Expo Awards. The inaugural event honored companies, products, packaging and technology within the adult industry.

The Awards were held alongside the Asia Adult Expo in Hong Kong on Aug. 27. The Expo is the only business to business platform in the Asia-Pacific and its focus is on networking, trading and cultivating international partnerships. The exhibitors specialize in a variety of areas such as adult novelties, lingerie, health supplements, games and trade services.

“What an incredible feeling it is to be the first recipient of an AAE Award," said the founder and CEO of CalExotics, Susan Colvin. "We are thrilled to have won and thank everyone involved for this incredible honor."

The CalExotics team was unable to attend the awards show but provided a video of Colvin’s acceptance speech. In her speech Susan thanked the AAE attendees for the honor and went on to say, “We work very hard to bring the best products to our customers and this award proves we are doing something right. I am sorry I could not be at the awards today but I am there in spirit.”

The awards recognize companies and products that continuously seek breakthroughs and bring new, innovative ideas into the market.
