Nimlok Grand Rapids received a "Best Systems Exhibit" award for an exhibit produced for their client Chervon at the National Hardware Show, which took place in Las Vegas this past May 10-12, 2011 and attracted over 2,300 exhibitors.

Derrick Johnson, Managing Partner of Nimlok Grand Rapids said, "When I was approached by Justin Bruursema of Chervon-NA to create something truly radical, we all just smiled and said "game on". It's extremely rare that a client will give you carte blanche to create something truly spectacular. Then, when I got the call from Vince Battaglia with the news of our BOSS nomination, I knew we had made a great impression by creating a truly unique and innovative show stopper."

Nimlok Orange County also received recognition with a "Best '10 x 20' or "Smaller" award for their client, City of San Bernadino, as well as an honorable mention for their client Town of Apple Valley.
