ROSEMONT, Ill., May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Penton's New Equipment Digest (NED) announced the 2016 winners for its inaugural Innovation Awards at the IndustryWeek Manufacturing & Technology Conference and Expo.
Twenty finalists for the award were selected from over 2,000 new product innovations featured in New Equipment Digest over the past year. These finalists represent the highest level of innovative disruption—they are engineered to create new markets, promising to unlock new manufacturing capabilities and fundamentally change their industries.
Next, thousands of manufacturing leaders, decision makers, engineers, and NED readers cast their votes to select 11 of the most innovative products of the year.
"Innovation is as much an act of inspiration as it is bravery," says Travis Hessman, Editor-in-Chief for New Equipment Digest. "Making an existing piece of equipment better is a safe and profitable bet; doing something different is a risky gamble. Those who take that risk, and do it well, deserve to be celebrated."
