Construction Machinery Middle East recognised 12 winners during a gala dinner held last night at the Radisson Red Hotel in Dubai. On the evening of the inaugural Construction Machinery ME Awards, a string of dedicated product awards were awarded to Genie, JLG, and Liebherr, while CASE picked up two awards including the Excavator of the Year award.
Over 5,000 people voted for categories such as Outstanding Manufacturer of the Year, with the process open to the industry before closing on May 12.
The night also featured a host of special nominated awards with Halo 4 Safety picking up Safety Champion of the Year. Other winners on the night included Kanoo Industrial & Energy, Bobcat, Johnson Arabia, Manlift Middle East, Rapid Access and Sany.
“For a while we have had this concept of celebrating the industry here in the Middle East and the machinery that is driving forward the sector, so it gives me tremendous pleasure to finally arrive at this point,” said Assistant Editor, Mark Dowdall.
“Every single one of the companies, including those that didn’t make the final shortlist, or aren’t listed this evening, should feel incredibly proud of themselves. They didn’t just get dozens of votes, they got hundreds of votes, so I think that is a considerable amount of respect shown by the market to what they are doing.”
