JoyDivision Receives 2 Nominations for the 2016 XBIZ Awards

LOS ANGELES — JoyDivision announced that they have received two nominations for the 2016 XBIZ Awards.

The European manufacturer of sexual wellness and pleasure products was nominated Progressive Pleasure Products Company of the Year and also received a Male Sex Toy/Line of the Year nomination for its XPANDER prostate stimulator.

"We greatly appreciate this wonderful recognition," JoyDivision CEO Oliver Redschlag said. "The nominations confirm our successful international presence and future!"

"It is a great honor and gratification to achieve such enormous trust and appreciation in our brand and products reflected by these XBIZ nominations," said Bianca Kuennecke, executive vice president of JoyDivision. “Thank you XBIZ — it fills us with great pride to be considered among such a very distinguished competition.

"We, as a company, would not have been as successful as we are without our retailers, distributors and of course all our customers — they are the reason why our 'JoyDivision' story is reality," she added.

"We anticipate significant consumer demand for XPANDER," stated Marcus West, senior vice president of marketing and sales. "As we have met with retailers on this product, key decision makers have told us the unique XPANDER technology is a true innovation to the category, towards which consumers will gravitate."

JoyDivision now offers over 250 lifestyle products, with distribution networks in over 60 countries. It has also established a fully owned subsidiary in Atlanta, GA, responsible for the North American market. For more information, click here.
