SOPREMA U.S. is proud to announce that the Mini Macadan, an innovative automated membrane‑welding solution, has been named an Experts’ Choice winner in the International Roofing Expo’s Innovative Product Showcase and Awards Program.

The annual awards program celebrates the most innovative solutions in roofing and exteriors across multiple categories. Winners are selected by a panel of industry experts who evaluate each entry based on its ability to improve performance, enhance safety, boost productivity, elevate user experience, or introduce a new standard to the market.

SOPREMA’s Mini Macaden earned recognition for its compact design, safe, high production‑level welding capability, and ability to deliver consistent, void-free installations across a wide range of SBS‑modified and APP-modified bitumen roofing applications. Engineered to improve both job-site efficiency and weld reliability, the MINI MACADEN provides roofing professionals with the ultimate quality control, improved ergonomics, and reduced installation time compared to manual flame-welded methods.

“The Mini Macadan reflects our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that strengthen long-term roofing system performance while improving safety, consistency, and productivity for contractors,” said Greg Williams, national sales manager for commercial roofing. “We are honored to be recognized by the International Roofing Expo as an Experts’ Choice winner.”

"We would like to thank all the companies that participated in our inaugural Innovative Product Showcase and Awards program this year, and to those that voted. It’s important for the industry to honor the products and services that are pushing the limits in our market today,” said Rich Russo, show director for the International Roofing Expo. “Congratulations to the 2026 award winners!”
