Following a region-wide industry vote, the shortlist for the Construction Machinery Middle East Awards 2022 has been revealed by the magazine’s editorial staff. The inaugural Construction Machinery ME Awards is set to take place on Wed 25th May 2022 at the Radisson Red Dubai. On the night, there will be thirteen different award categories with a mixture of public vote and judge-voted winners.
Categories such as ‘Excavator of the Year’ and the increasingly important ‘Equipment Rental’ segment were open to a public vote which closed last week. Nominations for special categories such as ‘Innovation of the Year’ have also closed.
The votes have now been collected and verified with the winners set to be announced on the night.
“The fact that we received over 5,000 votes shows the continued importance of construction machinery to the region and the passion people have for driving the sector forward,” said Assistant Editor Mark Dowdall.
“Most of the categories have been tightly contested and every nominated company should be proud of the support they generated. There were so many deserving entries that I would have liked on the final shortlist as there is clearly tremendous work being done across the board. The final selection, however, reflects the best in class and what the market believes are the outstanding leaders in the machinery sector in the region.”
