I always love hearing from former INPEX exhibitors, especially those who have gone home with the top prize.

INPEX 2008 Grand Prix winner Fred Cona has been in the carpentry business for 21 years. On a mission to do anything he could to help people work safely and more efficiently, Cona started his own company called Rolling Trades in 2008. He invented the PCW – Portable Carpentry Workshop, an all-in-one portable workshop for carpenters and other contractors that would require no set-up or dismantling after use.

Born out a frustration and necessity on the jobsite, the PCW helped Cona win the top prize at INPEX and $7500.

Cona is well on his way to manufacturing his product and is pleased to report that a first-time purchaser of his invention walked away very happy. “I’ve accomplished a lot since INPEX and still have a very long way to go,” said Cona. “INPEX was a great first experience in the invention world.” For additional information on Rolling Trades and the PCW, visit Fred Cona’s website at www.rollingtrades.com.
